About this Book:

Creating Futures is a gentle unfolding of the person, Richard Aguilera Ruiz, and his remarkable life. The reader is compelled to join him in his journey, beginning with the antics and defining moments of his early life. Richard’s initial shyness as a child soon grows into bravado which evokes a few interesting conundrums. Experiences and encounters from his early life prepare Richard Ruiz for the moment when his life’s mission is set ablaze. After that moment, his life is consumed with fighting for the underdog in a way that bolsters the worth, dignity, and well-being of everyone he encounters. Richard Aguilera Ruiz created new futures for people who had little or no hope.  ?

About the Author:

Creating Futures is Donna Rhodes’ first venture into publishing and an item on her bucket list, written in size 52 font, and circled every year. Donna has a bachelor’s degree in English Education and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction and loved teaching teenagers, whose minds and hearts are chaotic yet full of truths. Inspired by her love of books, the art of the story, and the encouragement of several teachers, particularly Mr. Clark, she has practiced her writing for many years, producing a variety of well-received skits, grammar stories, memoirs, short stories, and some satire pieces written for classroom and special events. Whether you like the book or love it (the only options Donna’s grandchildren give her), Donna hopes this story encourages and inspires you.

Book Review:

• Once I started reading this biography, I could not put it down. The life of Richard Aguilera Ruiz is such an inspiration and reminded me of how I want to live my life. The author did a marvelous job of making me feel attached to the characters. As I was reading this, I forgot that it was a biography and that the characters in the book are real people who have given so much back to their community. Emily S. Creating Futures is the well-written story of Richard Ruiz, bringing us from his childhood to the present as it reminds us there are still people who are selfless in their pursuit to help others. Dave M. The author of Creating Futures is an outstanding storyteller. I was so captivated by the beginning chapter I couldn’t put it down until I finished the entire book. I now have great respect for Richard Ruiz, an amazing man. Larry M. I live near Kansas City but had no idea the powerful influence of Richard Aguilera Ruiz and his leadership among our Hispanic community until I read this book. The author shares the many challenges Richard faced as he labored to see his dreams come true. Years from now, historians will turn to this book where they will learn the names of the heroes who worked alongside Richard to make our community a better place to live. My hat is off to the author for giving us this treasure. Dennis A.
