    About this ebook

    Collateral Damage'' is an anecdotal recount of a child growing up in New York City during the tumultuous 1970s. The story unfolds as the father's pursuit of more than the American dream takes an unexpected turn, triggering a series of events that strain family bonds.

     

    Determined to salvage the fragments, the mother embarks on a chase, ultimately leading to a sudden relocation to Ecuador. The once stable life in the USA transforms into a rollercoaster of emotions in an underdeveloped country, exposing the family to poverty, trauma, and the intricate dynamics of love and betrayal.
