The Memory of a Name

“What’s in a name?” This question goes beyond the mere arrangement of letters and sounds. This book embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery beyond the power of a name. The Memory of a Name is not just a memoir. It’s the story of a man whose name echoes through three generations, shared with him by his father and his son, each facing their own battles yet bound by the same identity. In addition to the name, his father, his son, and him shared lives full of striking coincidences. Throughout their journey across Colombia, the US, and Canada, they have experienced happiness while also overcoming significant challenges. It is a story that carries within it a profound message, pulsing through every chapter, reminding us to live fully, fight with all our strength, and love with all our heart.

REVIEWS

• I have to say that this was one of the most well-rounded memoirs that I’ve had the chance to evaluate, with the balance between personal remembrance and contextual detail feeling incredibly organic and effective. Not only does this book read like a very personal retelling and examination of your own life and your family’s but you were able to place the whole thing within a global historical and geopolitical context that makes the whole thing read as surprisingly relevant even to non-family members. As I read your memoir, I found my thoughts/feelings often turning to my own family (especially to those members that have been lost to us over the years) and wishing that they had left a book like yours behind so that I would have another chance to get to know them better.

• I read your book, and I want to congratulate you. It captivated me so much that I finished it in one night— an excellent narrative! What I loved the most was your heartfelt gratitude to your wife and all the people who helped you move forward, as well as the tribute to your father. This book should be read by everyone battling cancer as an example of life and resilience. Reinaldo Diaz, Ibérica employee.

• A wonderful book! So well done, I read it in two sittings. Tom Reagan
