Maria Elena Salinas was born in Los Angeles, California. Her birthplace made her an American citizen. But her heritage allowed her to identify with two countries. One was the United States. The other was Mexico, where she spent the first several years of her childhood. When she returned to the United States as a young girl, she spoke Spanish. In just a few months, she learned English at her new school. As a teen, Maria dreamed of becoming a successful fashion designer. As an adult, she would discover a new calling: journalism.

"The story of Juan Salinas is also the story of the people of Mexican origin who live on the ranches of the South Texas brush country, la gente del terrenazo (the people of the big land), as they call themselves. Strong, rugged, independent, and hard-working, they knew social and economic success that has all too seldom been chronicled."--BOOK JACKET.
