Remembrances of Our Family's Extraordinary Journeys
Including My Fantastic Voyage To/Through the 8Th Grade!
Childhood Journeys and Family Background
This is an autobiographical account of my childhood journeys with my parents, 4 older sisters and 2 older brothers. My parents immigrated to America in the first quarter of the 1900s with their families; they met and were married in Arizona and 3 sisters and 1 brother were born there, and I and 1 brother and 1 sister were born in California.
Struggles and Family Sacrifices
A large part of the book deals with the struggles of looking for work in various regions in these two states, and the resulting uprooting of family to go and temporarily live where work was found. There were many sacrifices made to keep family together.
Moving to Maneadero, BC, Mexico
The other part of the book reveals the personal struggles I had because of moving to Maneadero, BC, Mexico in 1958 with my mother and attending the local Village School. Struggles? Yes, but soon overcome by the loving friendships developed with the Villagers, Shopkeepers, Teachers and Students.
Life-changing Experiences
Fun was had, but there were a few God-sent events that became life-changing experiences for me.
