Gonzalez & Daughter Trucking Co. by María Amparo Escandón

There he falls in love with a wild woman with whom he shares his truck and his life-that is until Joaquin Gonzalez unexpectedly finds himself alone on the road with a baby girl and Gonzalez & Daughter Trucking Co. She tells of a former literature professor and fugitive of the Mexican government who reinvents himself as a trucker in the United States. The story that emerges, though, has nothing to do with the words printed on the pages. Serving a sentence in a prison in Mexico, Libertad Gonzalez finds a clever way to pass the time with the weekly Library Club, reading to her fellow inmates from whatever books she can find in the prison’s meager supply.
