520    Leaving his home in a migrant community, Francisco sets 
       off for college, carrying memories of years of poverty and
       prejudice. 
520    This volume is the autobiographical account of the 
       author's transition from migrant living on California's 
       central coast to the life of a college student. He 
       chronicles his college years and introduces the people who
       befriended him as well as those who had prejudices against
       Mexicans. Throughout his story, the difficulties of his 
       transition from family life to college life are evident. 
       His palpable fear of failure was mitigated by those who 
       helped him recognize his worth and develop and strengthen 
       his character. The book ends as he is bound for graduate 
       school at Columbia University. The author poignantly 
       relates his family's struggles and how their teamwork 
       enabled him to attend college. While the book relates his 
       trials and successes, it also describes how his family 
       members overcame their own obstacles.
