Crossing the Valley

I have long known the gist of my parent's immigration story to the United States.  I know that they both came in the 1970's from the state of Durango in Mexico.  Though I have heard various stories of my father's immigration, my mother has always been hesitant to share her story.  When I learned of this project I saw in it the opportunity to finally sit down and learn my mother's story.  Initially hesitant, my mother eventually opened up to share with me the story of her journey. 

Here is her story.
