In the small New Mexico town of San Carlos in the 1950s and 60s, a motherless Chicano youngster Javier Jimenz, finds himself forced into an early manhood. The boys father, Nicols, a Korean War veteran, drinks himself into the depths of alcoholism, struggling through life wallowing in self-pity. Javier tries his best to cope not only with his own loneliness but the day-to-day hardships of living with an alcoholic father.&nbspInto this setting enters Deborah Perkins. She moves into Javiers neighborhood. Javier and Deborah eventually fall in love, much to the chagrin of Deborahs mother, who doesnt share her husbands fascination for Southwestern culture and believes her daughter can do much better than what Javier has to offer.&nbspTragedy strikes, and Javier moves to California to live with an aunt and uncle. Deborah and he struggle to continue their relationship despite the distance and Deborahs mothers prejudices. Confused and unsure of his future, Javier leaves college to join the Army and ends up in Vietnam, where he sees his fellow soldiers dying every day.&nbspReminiscing about his father, he must face his own mortality, as he grapples with his own identity. Nicolss spirit appears at a critical moment with words to give Javier strength. Contemplating the real possibility of his death, he reconciles with himself, gaining strength from visions of his father as a good man who had his share of bad luck. Javier comes to grips with whether he has forgiven him for his frailties and failure as a parent....3029852A Rare Thing168193https://www.gandhi.com.mx/a-rare-thing-9781468507225/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2900090/7781e43b-c6ac-42f8-9cee-1b3bc71c7226.jpg?v=638384603582100000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20119781468507225_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_A Rare Thing is a story of redemption and forgiveness.
