Trade Review«Jesús ‘Pato’ Gómez’s seminal work comes to us at a time when love must become more than a notion, but our chosen way of life. As a friend, father, lover/husband, and beloved teacher, Pato shares with us his radicalization of love. How we all celebrate Pato’s words, songs, and insights. With Pato, colors were brighter, music was filled with joy, and teaching was an act of love. He enacted his own revolution of love, and his book moves us to become all we can be.» (Shirley R.
