“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
“Hard Knocks: Memoir of a Small Moment” is the first book by Ray Lopez that I have read. Through this book, readers would get to know about Ray’s life, how there were cultural and language differences during his childhood. His bilingual parents used to communicate in Spanish to discuss secret matters.
Ray’s paternal grandparents were Roman Catholic and he was also raised like that by his parents. School wasn’t easy for Ray as he was reminded everyday by his classmates about his dark skin.
I am quick to get angry but after reading this memoir I have decided to stay calm in situations that can make me frustrated. Ray’s mom attended school events and encouraged him a lot. By the age of ten, Ray became alcoholic and that helped him to forget his troubles at school. For all the abuse he received in class, Ray was involved in stealing from his classmates. There were many letters sent to his parents from school. Read this story to know about the events of Ray’s life till his twenty-first birthday.
Cover photo of the book is lovely. I enjoyed reading this memoir. I got to know a lot about the author through this book. With faith, one could achieve anything. It’s a must read book. It’s a captivating story and I was hooked to it till the last page. Curious to read Ray’s next book now.
