Strawberry Fields, A book of short stories


(McAllen, TEXAS) –This December, Barnes and Noble will be feature a book signing for author, Chuy Ramirez. The event will take place on Saturday December 4th, 2010 at 2:00pm. Come in and get your book singed! Barnes and Noble is located at 4005 N. 10th Street in McAllen (Northcross Shopping Center).

“Strawberry Fields tells the tales of three generations of a Mexican family as they make their way from Northern Mexico to South Texas,” says Ramirez. The book is written like a novel but readers can read chapters as independent vignettes. The book is also a murder mystery. Most of the focus, though, is on that period in the 1960s when the “baby boomers” begin to come of age. Strawberry Fields is symbolic of both the strawberry fields in Michigan at which farm workers labored to improve their lot, as well as an abstract place that represents the dreams and ambitions of a young Joaquin, the protagonist.

Ramirez grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, attended Pan American University in Edinburg, Texas and is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. He practices law in McAllen and Strawberry Fields is his first fictional work.
