"My dad constantly tried to get better work; he tried so many things. Although he was trained as a teacher, graduated with a degree in biology and had published Spanish textbooks in Mexico, in Los Angeles everyone failed to recognize his credentials."

"One day a miracle happened. My dad obtained a substitute teaching job in the San Fernando Valley..."

"He bought a house in Reseda. In those days, this made us the only Mexican family around."

"My mother, I could tell, was uncomfortable with the whole set-up. She shied away from the neighbors. The other mothers around here were good-looking, fit and well-built. My pudgy mom looked dark, Indian and foreign, no matter what money could buy...It seemed Mama was just there to pick up the pieces when my father's house of cards fell..."

"We pulled out of Reseda in an old beat-up Dodge. Sad faces on our neighbors were our farewell. I supposed they realized we weren't so bad for being Mexican. We were going back to an old friend - pobreza."
