Country Roads to Cabanatuan - Paperback

by Alvin Emil Vopata (Author)

Road to Cabanatuan is the life story of one man's unexpected experiences in the midst of inconsistencies and incongruities along the way. As a boy, the author explored his world within the limits of his family's frugal farm in the Kansas Flint Hills where they farmed with work horses and the children attended a public school with only three students.

Although fearful from the effects of isolation and family secrets in his early life, the author writes of his nomadic travels through fifty states and six continents while accepting the challenges of being a social worker and a special education teacher, mostly with visual-impaired students.

Along the way, the author finds fulfillment and enrichment among Filipinos within their vibrant, enlightening lives. The author's descriptions of transitions from the cornfields of Kansas to the rice fields of Luzon provide varied views of a unique life.
