Reviews
Never melodramatic or self-important, the spare episodes will draw readers with the quiet daily detail of work, anger, sorrow, and hope...An excellent interview with Jimenez appears in the January 2002 issue of Book Links."September 15, 2008, "[Jimenez] does a thorough job . . . of describing the difficulties, such as feeling unprepared and disadvantaged when compared to others, that some first-generation college students face . . . There are several kind-hearted mentors and benefactors . . . These gestures of kindness offer readers hope. This book is recommended for the library that already has the first two books on its shelf."-- VOYA (3Q3P) "No one who reads these life stories will forget them. Jimnez reaches out to let us walk in his shoes, feel his pain and pride, joy and sorrow, regrets and hope. All three books should be required reading for Californians. Students of Mexican heritage will see themselves. The rest of us will better understand what it takes to make this journey. And we'll all be hanging on for the next book."-- Sacramento Bee, Living Here section (pg. D3) "In this eloquent, transfixing account, Jimenez again achieves a masterful addition to the literature of the memoir."-- Smithsonian Magazine, Best Books of the Year 2008, hellip;this sequel tells [Jimenez's] personal story in clear, simple, self-contained chapters that join together in a stirring narrative., Too many children in the United States have never seen their lives in print, nor have they ever been told their story is extraordinary, nor that they themselves are courageous. I thank Francisco Jimenez for honoring all brave children who grow up poor in Americe., "[Jimenez] does a thorough job . . . of describing the difficulties, such as feeling unprepared and disadvantaged when compared to others, that some first-generation college students face . . .

Synopsis
From the perspective of the young adult he was then, Francisco Jiménez describes the challenges he faced in his efforts to continue his education. During his college years, the very family solidarity that allowed Francisco to survive as a child is tested. Not only must he leave his family behind when he goes to Santa Clara University, but while Francisco is there, his father abandons the family and returns to Mexico. This is the story of how Francisco coped with poverty, with his guilt over leaving his family financially strapped, with his self-doubt about succeeding academically, and with separation. Once again his telling is honest, true, and inspiring., From the perspective of the young adult he was then, Francisco Jiménez describes the challenges he faced in his efforts to continue his education.
