Give a brief description about this book:
This book gave a brief synopsis of the good traits that most people nowadays lack. The book began by explaining a situation where a Military Commander needed to get a message out to a Soldier named Garcia. The only issue that they had was that they did not know the exact location of Garcia and they found a guy that had the reputation to get all and any task done without questioning who, what, when, where or why. The messenger overcame all difficulties and accomplished the overall mission which was to deliver a message to Garcia. Throughout the book they compared different characteristic held by many people nowadays and kept asking if they would be able to deliver the message to Garcia. Some of the characteristics that was told was traits that are needed in order to deliver the message to Garcia were selflessness, strive, courage, commitment, goodwill, and radiant.

    In Garcia’s study, she points out the different experiences that Latina girl’s and their mothers went through in terms of housework and outside labor. Mothers, for example, did paid labor outside the home and saw it as a necessity to being a good mother. Young Latina’s, however, often worked the “second shift” as well as their current job.
