To Be Frank Diego
Frank Diego is compelled to use public transportation for the first time. But his walking, busing, and trolleying through San Diego becomes a zig-zagged comedy of errors as he encounters odd, colorful characters along the way. Frank's daylong journey prompts flashbacks to events that have shaped his bicultural identity (half Mexican and half white) and account for his recently failed relationship. By the time Frank makes it to the beach to meet his so-called girlfriend, the journey has transformed his perspective and led him to a life-changing decision.

Underground Book Reviews

"To Be Frank Diego is a quick read that offers a nice balance of humor and depth. It’s the kind of book where everything goes wrong and all the comical misadventures keep readers turning the pages to see how it finally gets right. Of course anyone from San Diego would certainly appreciate this book and the way it brings their city to life, but the deeper messages about breaking from one’s routine and seeing life through new eyes should appeal to readers anywhere."
