Description
Although her origins are in Nocedo del Valle, an agricultural village in Orense, a province of Galicia, Spain, Blanca De La Rosa was born in the Dominican Republic in the bosom of a humble family. But fate had something else in store for her.
Pursuing a Better Tomorrow is not just a novel that portrays the history of three generations, but rather an inspiring cross-generational journey from Spain to the United States. The novel details a historical overview and the ideologies of each era where the characters portray the strength of character required to achieve a better tomorrow given the twists, turns, and synchronistic events that shaped their lives.
De La Rosa candidly shares her coming-of-age story of self-discovery as she transitioned from New York City’s projects to corporate America, detailing her personal and professional journey.
This great novel will inspire you to believe in your abilities, dare to dream, and reach for your goals as you pursue a better tomorrow.

This book was not exactly what I expected until about halfway through, when she starts telling her own story of growing up in NYC. That's when it became very interesting. Her voice is authentic and natural. The writing is a bit vague and could use some examples to illustrate her points, rather than just rephrasing them again and again. I found the first half difficult to navigate. The bits about the countries read like encyclopedia entries and the parts about her ancestors is repetitive. I felt like this could be two books with certain parts fleshed out a bit more.
