Stories From The Life Of A Migrant Child - Plot & Excerpts
I am indebted to my family whose lives are represented in this book. These stories are their stories as well as mine. These are also the stories of many migrant children of yesterday and today. I thank them all and ask their forgiveness for taking the liberty to write about them, knowing full well my limitations as a writer. Their courage, tenacity, and unwavering hope in the midst of adversity have been a constant inspiration to me. Thanks to the many teachers and students who have written to me over the years about my work. Their particular interest in my story "The Circuit" and their encouragement to write more stories about my life have motivated me to continue writing. I am grateful to my friends and colleagues who guided me along the way with constructive criticism: Cedric Busette, mi amigo del alma; Kate Martin Fergueson; and Alma Garcia. A special thanks to my immediate family for patiently listening to various drafts of the stories and offering valuable comments on them. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my teachers whose faith in my ability and whose guidance helped me break the migrant circuit.
