My Family, Mi Familia - a Young Anglo Woman's Journey into a Mexican American Family Rebecca Guevara

You grow up. You get married. You have kids. Oh, yes, and you're in love with the guy you married. So what's your problem? Maybe you're not so grown up. Maybe you don't know who you married. He's Mexican American and you're not. He's LDS (Mormon) and you're not. His family is too big and you barely have one. His family lives with a hidden family history. It could break your heart. It could make you face yourself. It could just be life. Part love story, part coming of of age amid the passions and history of two streams of people, young and naive Abby Baker must reconcile her husband's family with her own. Quote: The inside gut feel of white pioneers in heavy black clothes who knew land only as theirs and eyed passionate emotions with distrust was slipping. The sureness of living is only one heritage was frayed.
