Description

A Tale of Survival is an explosive story that may be a lot more than a simple memoir of an Hispanic woman: it is crucial, quintessential American story of adversity and perseverance. It is a brutally honest and provocative tale of not merely survival but success from one who came from a time and place where success and upward mobility for a Mexican-American was once not only unlikely but damn near not possible. Unlike some other Hispanic memoirs, Grace Flores-Hughes describes her childhood and transition to adulthood and beyond, against the tapestry of the modern Hispanic experience and the from time to time turbulent era of the rebellious baby-boomer generation. She writes of assimilation, racial and ethnic injustice, her role in coining of the term Hispanic, and her championing the lives of the disenfranchised before and after the civil rights movement. Further, Ms. Flores- Hughes takes you on this treacherous journey at the same time as exploring her encounters and friendships with many of The usa’s leaders. She demonstrates in this colorful and spicy story that “Hold the Salsa” has never been her style; a story that chronicles the emergence of a kid’s identity to that of an accomplished Hispanic woman who rose against all odds.
