Making An American Family: A Recipe In Five Generations

Keep the family together were the parting words of Janet Rodriguez's grandmother. And Rodriguez has done just that with her luminous account of five generations of her family-she has kept the family together. From their beginnings in Mexico, to building a new life in California's Central Valley, and reckoning with a rapidly changing national landscape, Rodriguez's account of her family truly tells the story of every American family, one steeped in sacrifice, hope, and love. Part memoir, part oral history, and part personal exploration on the part of a bi-ethnic woman who never felt Mexican enough, Making an American Family is a love letter to those who have gone, and a prayer for those still to come. ~Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of Mona at Sea
