A REAL LIFE SOUTHWESTERN SAGA THAT SHINES WITH IRRESTIBLE SPIRIT

“Everybody loves a good story, and Gilbert Ortega’s is just that—a genuine old West, Indian trader success story. The memoir of the late Ortega is woven with first-hand Southwest history and powered by strong family unity and pioneer spirit. Filled with struggle and failure, there are times when you think he should just quit, but he never does give up. Even when he is broke and eating catsup sandwiches, he still has hope—empty pockets full of hope. Though his eventual success is unique to the Native American arts and crafts business, it inspires people everywhere to believe in themselves, work hard and follow their dreams.”

Patricia Bezunartea (bez-oo-nar-tay-ah) is an award-winning writer with a strong retail background in the Arizona tourist industry. The author is a member of Arizona Book Publishers Association and PMA the Independent Book Publishers Association and partner in BelVista Publishers of Scottsdale.
