Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Beyond Forgetting is my personal journey through childhood, family, war, hardship, and hope. I was born in 1937 in Panganiban, Catanduanes, and grew up in a simple farming community where life was difficult but filled with love, faith, and strong family values. My childhood unfolded during World War II, a time of fear, poverty, and uncertainty, yet I also remember the kindness of neighbors, the strength of my family, and the simple joys that helped us endure. In this book, I share my memories of working on the farm, caring for carabaos, learning from my parents and elders, attending school after the war, and experiencing the many adventures and challenges of my youth. These experiences taught me the importance of hard work, perseverance, gratitude, education, and community.Beyond Forgetting is more than a collection of memories. It is my way of preserving the people, places, and lessons that shaped who I became. From my humble beginnings in Panganiban to the moment I eventually moved forward toward a new life, I carry these memories with me as a reminder that even through hardship, love, family, and hope can give us the strength to keep going. Beyond Forgetting is my memoir of growing up in Panganiban, Catanduanes, through war, poverty, family, farming, and education-a heartfelt story of resilience, gratitude, and the memories that shaped my life.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There is no royal road to happiness. My life has taught me that joy is not something we inherit, purchase, or reach without struggle. It is something we learn to recognize through hardship, faith, love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and the courage to keep moving forward.In There's No Royal Road to Happiness, I share the story of my life from my childhood in Panganiban, Catanduanes, Philippines, through the uncertainty of the Second World War and into the many chapters that followed. I was born into a humble family and grew up surrounded by poverty, war, hard work, and the strength of a close-knit community. Those early years taught me resilience, gratitude, respect for family, and the value of education. From farm life and delayed schooling, I continued pursuing my dreams, eventually earning opportunities that carried me far beyond the small town where my journey began. My path later brought me to the United States, where I faced the challenges of building a new life, pursuing a career, finding love, raising a family, and confronting losses I never imagined I would endure. Marriage, separation, the painful distance from my children, depression, betrayal, financial pressures, and the struggle to begin again tested me deeply. Yet every setback became another lesson in what it means to survive without surrendering hope.Some of the most difficult moments came when serious illness entered my family. Watching my wife endure major medical crises, surgeries, uncertainty, and a long recovery forced me to confront fear, helplessness, responsibility, and faith in ways I had never known before. Through these experiences, I learned that we are never meant to walk life's hardest roads alone. Family, friends, compassion, prayer, and the kindness of others can become the light that guides us through darkness.This memoir is not the story of a perfect life. It is the story of a life repeatedly tested and repeatedly rebuilt. It is about leaving home without forgetting where you came from, loving through disappointment, forgiving when forgiveness is difficult, finding strength after loss, and discovering that happiness is not a destination reached by an easy road.I share these memories in the hope that readers facing their own struggles will remember that hardship does not have to define the end of their story. There may be no royal road to happiness, but with courage, perseverance, love, faith, and hope, there is always a way forward. A heartfelt memoir of war, poverty, family, love, loss, faith, and perseverance, showing that happiness is not found through an easy path, but through courage, forgiveness, resilience, and hope.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. I had always dreamed of writing a book since I came to the United States. I carried a journal with me and would write down thoughts whenever inspiration came, but life became busy with work and raising a family. Before I knew it, my children had grown up, finished college, built families of their own, and blessed me with grandchildren. Then came retirement, and with time finally available, my old dream of writing returned. I prayed to Divine Providence and asked that the first title that came to my mind would be the one chosen for my book. That title was A Touch of Life. A Touch of Life is my autobiography, or memoir, told through a collection of stories from my childhood in Panganiban, Philippines, during the difficult years of World War II and its aftermath. As a young boy, I witnessed the hardships and atrocities brought by war, including the Japanese occupation and the eventual liberation of the Philippines. But liberation did not immediately bring an easy life. Poverty, hunger, disease, and the lack of resources made the years after the war extremely difficult. Through it all, however, my family never lost hope or faith. We believed that God would never abandon us, even during the darkest moments. These memories could have disappeared with the passing of time, but I chose to preserve them as a legacy for my children, grandchildren, and future generations. I want my story to remind everyone that poverty is not permanent, nor is it a reason to give up on life or success. For me, hardship became a teacher-it made me more compassionate, kinder, and more understanding of others. Looking back, I often ask myself, What if I had not finished high school? What if I had not graduated as valedictorian? What if I had not finished college? I believe those experiences, along with faith and perseverance, helped shape the life I was blessed to live. A Touch of Life is Frank A. De La Rosa's inspiring story of hardship, family, faith, and perseverance. From life in the Philippines to overcoming adversity, it is a heartfelt journey of resilience, hope, and determination. This item is printed on demand.
