***About The Book***
Can we learn from our ancestral past? Do our relatives behaviors help mold our own? In Unexpected Gifts, that is precisely what happens to Sonia, a confused college student, heading for addictions and forever choosing the wrong man.
Searching for answers, she begins to read her family's diaries and journals from America's past:The Vietnam War; Woodstock; and Timothy Leary era; Tupperware parties; McCarthyism; and Black Power; The Great Depression; Dance Marathons; And Eleanor Roosevelt; The immigrant experience and the Suffragists. Back-and-forth, the book journeys linking yesteryear with modern life, until finally by understanding her ancestors' hardships and faults, she gains enough clarity to make some right choices.
