From Three to Four-Thirty

The writer undergoes gradual changes while trying to adjust to the American style of independence after having lived a radically different and protected life in Mexico. The author marries and moves to San Antonio, Texas in 1956. She tells her story, originally written in 1973, through anecdotes and observations from her deeply held Mexican heritage, with a dash of humor, noting ups and downs common to immigrants, and finally adopting her new countrys way of life. After a long and thorough Texas schooling with its many travails, she becomes a true Texan American.
