Synopsis

Lupe may have escaped your notice, being just another abuelita, an elderly Mexican-American woman. Widowed, her face was well-lined by time and excessive sun exposure from leading her family as they harvested crops throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, month after month and year after year. But long ago, against tremendous odds, Lupe Soto saved her husband and family from mortal danger and helped their many children establish secure new lives in a new country that both wanted and did not want them.
A stranger herself in this challenging land, Lupe’s story illuminates a Mexican-American family’s migrant journey, led by a courageous young mother in her twenties, a woman who initially did not speak the language or understand the culture, norms, or customs of this great country she loves. She forged a permanent home here for herself, Juan Soto—my loving yet tragically flawed father—and their offspring, myself included.
