About the Author

John De La Garza, was Estevan Rogelio Garcia's grandfather by blood. An alcoholic, a share cropper by virtue of his twelve children who worked the farm to produce fields. He supported his family and his personal vices on their wages. On September 10, 1952, Caroline De La Garza gave birth to a son who's name or face she would not know for forty years.
