The Circuit by Francisco Jimenez, 134 pages
“These
independent but intertwined autobiographical stories follow the author and his
migrant family through their circuit, from picking cotton and strawberries to
topping carrots, and back again over a number of years. As it moves from one
labor camp to the next, the little family of four grows into ten. Impermanence
and poverty define their lives. But with faith, hope, and back-breaking work,
the family endures.” Sad but hopeful, this is a book for
anyone who likes memoirs.
