Ursula's Yahrtzeit Candle

FINALIST BEST ADULT FICTION AWARD by COLORADO AUTHORS LEAGUE (Colorados oldest organization for professional published writers). The story of Ursula Frank an 87-year-old woman who has lived and seen it all from Nazi-scorched Europe to pre-Castro Cuba was looking for a clever exit from her mortal coil by going into East L.A. at night looking for trouble. Unintentionally she interrupts the gang initiation of Reuben Montanez a 17-year-old good guy who was simply hoping for a better life than his honest hard-working (deceased) brother. Little does Reuben know that Ursula just might have the answer to his hopes of a better life if only she can share it with him before it is too late--for either of them.
