Gonzalez and Daughter Trucking Co.: A Road Novel with Literary License

Serving a sentence in a prison in Mexico, Libertad GonzÃ¡lez finds a clever way to pass the time with the weekly Library Club, reading to her fellow inmates from whatever books she can find in the prisonâ€™s meager supply. The story that emerges, though, has nothing to do with the words printed on the pages. She tells of a former literature professor and fugitive of the Mexican government who reinvents himself as a trucker in the United States. There he falls in love with a wild woman with whom he shares his truck and his lifeâ€”that is until JoaquÃn GonzÃ¡lez unexpectedly finds himself alone on the road with a baby girl and GonzÃ¡lez & Daughter Trucking Co. is born. JoaquÃn and his daughter make the cab of an 18-wheeler their home, sharing everythingâ€”adventures, books, truck-stop chow, and memories of the girlâ€™s motherâ€”until one day the girl grows into a woman, and a chance encounter with one man causes her to rebel against another.

With her stories, Libertad enthralls a group of female prisoners every bit as eccentric as the tales she tells. In GonzÃ¡lez and Daughter Trucking Co., bestselling author MarÃa Amparo EscandÃ³n seamlessly blends together these elements into one compelling and unexpected conclusion that will have you cheering for Libertad and filled with joy.
