As a helicopter pilot, and father-in-law to a lovely, intelligent, Filipino girl, I was struck by the intensified effort her mother extended to send her to college. Matters were made especially difficult because her father was absent during most of her childhood, and her mother had only minimum education herself. My daughter-in-law is now gainfully employed, has been offered two promotions, and possesses a diligent work ethic, no doubt learned from her hard working mother. Armed with a college degree, she is well prepared to make her own way in the world. She is also painfully aware of the many obstacles that currently litter the public education landscape in America, many of which are revealed in the novel, The Twilight's Last Gleaming On Public Education. You may view a portion of this intriguing, socially relevant, and enlightening novel online by contacting the publisher at www.Xlibris.com, clicking on their Bookstore link, then Searching by title. Check it out for yourself. Interesting choice of word.
