This is an exciting book about an African-American younster who grows up in the ghetto, and discovers that there is a whole new world in at a place called Green Acres Country Club, where he worked as a busboy with Mexican immigrants. He somehow falls in love and learns their language in his very first immersion experience. The Spanish language becomes his First Love, which later ``opens the doors' to all kinds of fascinating adventures in education, and in his life as a student,teacher,parent, and minister. Learn how Walter was able to break the language barrier to become one of the greatest Spanish-Speaking teachers of the 21st century. This book is hilarious, exciting, and spiritually informative, especially when Walter meets his New Love, which is a far greater love than his former.
