WHERE DOES THE STRENGTH OF A HUMAN BEING COME FROM? It comes from the indestructible desire to overcome obstacles. To never give up has its reward. If you think that there is no reason to continue living in a world of failure and disappointment, the book WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT by Alma Lazar will help you find your way through the pain and find happiness and succeed under any circumstance no matter how impossible it might seem. This is a novel based on a true story. Most of it takes place in San Diego, CA. Jorge Cantú spends his childhood suffering physical abuse from his mother whose goal in life was to make her four children pay an outrageous price for her previous mistakes. Jorge and his three brothers create an alliance not only to survive the brutal punishments and beatings of their mother but to find a way to be content with their lives, as long as they can all remain together. As a teenager, he starts working for a catering company, opening up a new world of opportunities. He meets influential politicians and important business and show-business people. He discovers a different world and takes advantage of it to continue advancing in different government jobs. As hard as he tries to make the best of his life, the unfaithful destiny that has chased him since childhood occasionally forces him to the bottom. Each time he must start all over again. In his late 30's in Tijuana, Mexico he meets Alicia, a divorcee with two children. It is love at first sight for both of them and after several years of being together, they decide to unite their lives in matrimony. Jorge then, not only has a family that he adores but also becomes a successful entrepreneur when he opens a skylight business which does great almost from the first week he opened. Life is good to him until the darkness of his destiny strikes once again but this time he didn't see it coming and becomes deeply depressed. He even starts to develop suicidal thoughts. It is then that the iron spirit that has kept him going since his childhood helps him reemerge stronger than ever to achieve what seems impossible. He realizes that there are no limitations when we firmly hold a goal in our minds. WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT is an inspirational book, as we learn that no barrier can keep us from achieving our goals. It is a touchy and motivational story based on true facts, loaded with human content. It portrays the gentleness and dignity of a human being. It is a perfect example of courage, love, strength, and forgiveness, but most of all, it teaches us that nothing in this world can stop us from reaching our dreams. This book is also partly biographical as the author's path crosses that of the main character during her volunteer job for a non-profit organization.
