About The Last Alaskan Mexican

---

"The Last Alaskan Mexican is a heartfelt, humorous journey through the life of Charles Gonzales, a Mexican-American raised amidst the snowy landscapes of Alaska. This memoir is a mosaic of laughter, culture, and the unbreakable bonds of family, particularly the relationship with his father, affectionately known as "Papa Chuck."

"One of the book's most striking aspects is the blending of two seemingly disparate cultures - the warmth of Mexican heritage and the stark, rugged beauty of Alaska. Gonzales narrates with a flair that brings to life the quirks and charms of this unique intersection. Stories of making "snowmariachis" instead of snowmen, and the lighthearted banter about his identity, are not just entertaining; they are profound glimpses into a life lived at the crossroads of cultures." 

"Gonzales's writing is informal, witty, and immensely engaging. He invites readers into his world with a conversational tone that feels like a chat with an old friend. His stories are filled with vibrant characters and scenarios that are both relatable and uniquely fascinating!" 

Charles was born and raised under the northern lights in the Last Frontier. After 26 years he left the Great North and moved outside to the lower 48. His former wife brought their three princes into the world and raising respectable young men has always been his goal. Charles began writing this memoir after losing his father in September of 2022 as a way to help him grieve and process the loss with patience, acceptance, heartache, and laughter. He sincerely hopes to bring each of these emotions out from readers as well.
