Here's what I wrote about this read in 2008: "Sequel to Rain of Gold. Not as good as the first (much more sentimentality), but yet good to know the "rest of the story". Would have liked to have met a lot of these people, and how smart & fortunate they were to purchase that prime Californian real estate."

Here's what I wrote about this read in 2008: "Loved it! Great story, fictionally told, but based on author's family history. Provides more insight in history of Mexico, effects of the Mexican revolution, and the early Californian Mexican-American experience."

Hermoso!, por momentos increíble como la vida misma, pero siempre hermoso al final.
Casi a la mitad del libro hay unas fotografías, si las ven al final de leerlo creo que es mejor, ya que los pueden "spoilear" como a mi.

Finished it and then cried all through the Author’s Notes! A testament to the strength and perseverance of the author’s family, as they fled the Mexican Revolution and struggled to make their way in the US against so many odds (extreme poverty, labor exploitation, racism, etc.), yet truly lived their lives with passion, joy, and faith....which carried them through generations.

There are some aspects of nostalgia and longing that are universal to most immigrants that touched me as an immigrant myself...the longing for a home or past that is no more and yet still feeling like a fish out of water in your new home!

There were some sections on the last 3rd of the book that dragged a bit too much for me, but other than that, a rewarding read.
