The Caballeros of Ruby, Texas Cynthia Leal Massey 2. izdevums

Don Miguel Caballero, a successful labor contractor in Texas' Rio Grande Valley and later, in California's Salinas Valley, enjoys the good life: prosperity, the respect of his community, a marriage of thirty years, six bright children. But gradually all he has worked for begins to unravel. Three of his daughters give their versions of the disintegration of an idyllic way of life. Called a "heart-wrenchingly good tale" and "a fascinating look at a culture and way of life," The Caballeros of Ruby, Texas was a WILLA Literary Award finalist in 2003 for Original Softcover Fiction.
