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.
Born in a farming village in rural Spain, a young girl is faced
with the harsh realities of life at an early age. Forced to be
separated from her parents continents away she is raised by her
grandparents as if one of their own. After years of being exiled
from her family she is suddenly ripped away from the only life she
had ever known. Called upon to rejoin her mother and father in
South America she begins a journey of discovery that will shape
what will eventually become her American Dream. Along the way she
will face obstacles that may seem familiar to some, as well as some
that are so unique that are unimaginable to most. As a teenager she
was diagnosed with a chronic disease, which she was informed would
lead to her eventual paralysis. As a young mother she was faced
with a decision of where to raise a family away from the growing
violence of her adopted homeland, and as a young professional she
was ostracized by her peers for her accent and the physical toll
her disease had begun to take on her appearance. This book takes
you on one woman's journey of self discovery that spans from that
small farming village in Spain to the big city lights of Miami and
New York City all the while witnessing the internal battles that
eventually shape her and allow her to be able to live Her American
Dream.
