In these days of tawdry political revelations regarding taxpayers’ money misused or illegally appropriated, one needs to retreat into other more fulfilling events such as reading about other topics, enjoying simple autobiographies, dipping into love stories, journeys into the past for some nostalgia. There is something to be said for the simple joy of living well-paced orderly lives that in themselves express a philosophy of life that is positive, simple and complete. All these I enjoyed by reading a book of stories and essays by Aurea Carballo Gonzalez. Her book is called On Wings of Love and was lovingly published posthumously by her five children. However, many of the stories in the book were published before by Ms. Gonzalez under pen names during her years of being a housewife, raising a family, being a companion to a successful lawyer-husband.
