Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The 1950s - 1960s was a time when America was waking up to cultural change; as a Hispanic, I was part of that awakening. There are things that were unique, permissible in that era that would be difficult to duplicate today, partially, because there were not so many rules, and laws to follow then, as there are now. The late 1960s and 1970s brought cultures closer together; I experienced this first hand and in a dynamic way. My story is a journey into the past, beginning with my great grandfather, how poverty found him, to my life on the road as a migrant child, life on the road as a hitchhiker, how I became homeless- living out of my car as an adult, and how I eventually found my way out of those dark times. This book offers a view into the past, and it is a true story, not one that was inspired by the truth, but one that is recounted in the way things happened. Like many memoirs that do not always have a happy ending, my story is more of one that trades a bitter past for a future with hope!

Approx. 208 pages. Size 12 font. 6x9 format. Growing up for me became difficult after I lost my father: Depression, anger, and a lack of self-esteem took hold.

Eventually, I had to decide if I was going to stay in poverty, let my emotions just keep me there, or if I was going to try to make something of myself. This story is recounted as it happened. It reads like fiction but is a true story. I hope it will be a source of encouragement for anyone who feels depressed for whatever reasons.
