Synopsis
In this book, Galarza tells of his progress from a Mexican village so small its main street didn't have a name, to Sacramento, California. He describes the difficulties of finding work in a strife-torn nation, in securing an education and in keeping his family intact.

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but not very catching, 13 May 1999
By A Customer
I found this book to have a very interesting subject matter however the writing itself sometimes put me to sleep. The athor dwells on facts very insignificant to the purpose of the story and therefor the reader must wade through all of that to pull out the important history his is retelling. My suggestion is find another book about the same topic. This book may turn some off so they never learn about the rich history of the mexican-american herritage in this country.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well done and written for those with a sense of history!, 26 April 1999
By A Customer
Dr. Galarza was outstanding in this autobiography. It is easy to follow if you are enjoying it. A sense of history and knowledge of Mexican-American culture will ease the read. However, anyone with an open mind can follow it and enjoy it with little problem.
