One Latina Breaking the Language Barrier is a powerful tribute to migrant workers who have been able to break the chain of poverty. This book has great stories to tell, with heartwarming true tales coming from great women that suffered as migrant children working in the fields. Author Alice O. Carrillo shares poems she wrote years ago about her experiences in the fields as a child. She writes about learning in an all-English classroom. The emotional abuse we encountered and how we overcame it and were able to attend college, becoming professional in our area of expertise is the key to reaching success. However, she points out that schools need to be more sensitive toward both Hispanic instructors and students. She closes the book with a short story her sister wrote during her college years about the beginning of their journey as children who followed the sun. About the Author: Born in Arizona, Alice O. Carrillo moved with her family to California, where they became migrant workers. Little did they know we were starting a long journey as migrants who followed the sun from sunrise to sundown for years. We suffered physically, emotionally and socially.We never had friends we could call a true friend. We never lasted at a location more than two months. We never attended school on a regular basis. We were taken out of school to help support the family. Our parents only worried about paying the rent and if there was going to be food on the table.
