Gringo and the Coconut

GRINGO & THE COCONUT is the kind of delightful true story that you will want to share with all of your family. Seldom does a story appeal to readers of every background from eight to eighty, but GRINGO & THE COCONUT is a rare exception. Written in English & Spanish, it makes an ideal gift for any occasion. The story begins when the author, a Caucasian business man in his middle fifties, finds a teenaged Mexican girl on a city street carrying much of her earthly possessions in a knapsack & in need of most of the things in life that we take for granted. Little did either party dream that sharing a warm meal in a nearby restaurant would be the beginning of a life long father daughter relationship that would conquer a mountain of trials & build a love & trust strong enough to overcome the boundaries of race, culture, age & everything else that hinders mutual friendship & understanding. You will want to laugh & cry as you travel through this unusual real life adventure. To add to your reading pleasure, a screenplay (in English) based on the story is included in the book.Zahner, Dee is the author of 'Gringo and the Coconut' with ISBN 9781887017008 and ISBN 1887017003.
