The Mexican Mix (Paperback or Softback)

When the Revolution stampeded over Mexico, David’s dad and his brothers fled to the US to save their lives. His dad went on to marry a beautiful American girl and had five kids—the rowdiest of which was David. Sent at age seven to live on his uncle’s massive plantation in Mexico, David claimed his heritage and became deeply immersed in his family’s culture and language. He returned after two years to resume his life at home—traveling between the sister cities of Juarez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, to help run his Dad’s fruit business. Later, David spent years working in law enforcement, and married Patricia.Patricia, an untraveled hometown college girl, ignited David’s interest—not only in her but also in pursuing a university education and establishing a stake, as his dad had, in the Great America. A wild ride that takes the reader through 120 years of Mexican and American cultural interaction, The Mexican Mix is a lively, true adventure of real people who suffered through hard times, thrived through good times, and loved through it all.
