Jimenez continues his story of growing up as an immigrant in California in the early 1960's which began with The Circuit and Breaking Away. This title features his college years at Santa Clara. He is the first of his family to go to college and the stories bring out his loyalty to his family and his guilt at having the luxury of attending school while they are working. Told in simple style with excellent prose, this is an important work about the immigrant experience in America. Includes family photographs.
