Synopsis

In her memoir, We Are All Others, Sandra Barocio shares stories from her life as the child of Mexican immigrants to the United States, who worked hard to give their family a path to a brighter future. Moving from Texas to California in the 1960s, Sandra and her family shared many difficult moments, as well as times of great joy and closeness. This heartwarming story reminds us that in the end, it’s love and shared values that allow us to persevere even through the toughest experiences.

“Sandra shares the strength and power of familial love, inculcated by her father and mother among their offspring from sacred birth onward. This love is the thread that stitches her family together, shielding them from the harsh realities of life that they face in the migrant worker communities of Texas and California.”
— Tom Kirkpatrick, author of The Love that Endures: Remembering my Mother and my Father, U.S.S. Arizona’s Chaplain at Pearl Harbor

“This timely memoir of one family’s migration, from Mexico to Texas to the Salinas Valley in California, searching for a better life for their children, offers tales full of humanity, emphasizing the interconnection between us all.”
— Christine Galea
