While Lupita adjusts to her new country, her American-born children must make peace with lives that never quite match the pages of Ladies Home Journal. Finally, though distanced from their ancestors' culture and freed from the stigma of accented English, Lupita's grandchildren discover that they somehow remain set apart. In fifteen exquisitely human stories, these family members face progress and failure against the backdrop of each new generation--bound together, and to us all, by the search for a place in this world."-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Mexican American families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mexican American women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C8FCEF8A00A911E7BE28DDD2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
