Forgotten Graves, Las Tumbas Olvidades, chronicles the quest for ownership of a new life after the loss of my loved ones. Written in English and Spanish the texts reflect a long journey from the American South, Southwest and eventually Mexico. Scraps of paper, magazines articles and diaries saved over twenty-five years amassed into four books of epiphanies, journals and loving words for family, friends and life-partner Beatlick Joe Speer. This is the first of four books and an intoduction to TRAVELS WITH BEATLICK JOE. Mama, Joe, my sister, my father, my loved ones and friends are all gone never to be forgotten as they wait until we see each other again. It is my greatest desire that this book encourages anyone who has lost a loved one or lost hope along their way. Even in sorrow we can still find joy. It is possible.
