Immokalee's Fields of Hope is a story of Mexican, Haitian, and
Guatemalan immigrants told by a businesswoman who regained her soul
through volunteering with children. With compassion and
understanding, Carlene Thissen shares the personal stories the
immigrants told her, framed with the political and social histories
of their countries. Beginning with family memories of her own
German and Irish grandparents, she captures the struggles, hopes,
and dreams of people who just want to work and make a better life.
Carlene offers the opportunity to stretch out and truly visualize
the plights of the people being described and their motivation for
coming to America. They left horrible poverty, violence, and
persecution and risked everything they had to come to Immokalee in
Southwest Florida as word spread across our borders that, There is
work in Immokalee. More than just the vivid story of the
immigrants, Carlene explains the frustrations and fears of the
rural community that struggled to absorb them and the dedicated
people who came to help. The immigrants' dreams of a better life
and the Carlene's own journey back to the garden all began in
Immokalee's Fields of Hope.
