Last Ride On The Ferry

by Angélica Reyna was Published April 2014

Angélica was born in Mercedes, Texas in 1941, she is an American of Mexican descent. She grew up being a migrant worker, constantly changing schools five or more times a year.

She traveled, camped, and worked with Braceros and Mexican families as they followed harvest cotton.

Picking cotton by hired hands was becoming obsolete due to the invention of the cotton-picking machine.
The Braceros started to go to California where there was plenty of work out in the fields.

Our family started to look for work in Florida and later on migrated to the Midwest looking for work.

The author says "God blessed me with a good memory for recalling my early years. I had a journal filed in my brain, a diary about the America I knew. The America, Norman Rockwell never painted."

"Lack of education discouraged me from writing this book, my husband (my Wizard of Oz) gave me the confidence I needed. I started taking advance English writing classes at I U East as well as going to book writing seminars in Indianapolis, IN.

My first book was fiction, but I wanted to make it non-fiction. After I obtained my siblings’ approval and blessings I rewrote/edited Last Ride on The Ferry with our real names and added more stories.
