In this powerful and inspiring memoir, a Mexican American woman shares her journey from poverty to success, from a small village in rural New Mexico to the halls of academia. Growing up in a family of migrant farmworkers, she faced discrimination and prejudice, but she also learned the value of hard work and perseverance. She went on to earn a scholarship to the University of California, Berkeley, where she became one of the few Mexican Americans to attend the school at that time. After graduating from Berkeley, she worked as a social worker, helping people from all walks of life. She also became a tireless advocate for social justice, fighting for the rights of Mexican Americans and other marginalized groups.

In addition to her personal story, the author also provides a unique perspective on the history of Mexican Americans in the United States.
