Farmworker's Daughter: Growing Up Mexican in America by Rose Castillo Guilbault. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781597140348.

In this memoir, Guilbault invites us into her girlhood, revealing what it was like to grow up as a Mexican immigrant in a farming community during the turbulent 1960s. With openness, courage, and charm, she recalls her early struggles to learn English, to fit in with schoolmates with their Barbie dolls and cupcakes, to win approval, and to bridge the tensions between the home life and the public world to which she was drawn.
