One of the most important goals a parent has for their child is that they are better, smarter, more successful and all of those wonderful things than they were. This is a story about the relationship between a daughter and how much she loved and respected her mother and father for everything that they were willing to sacrifice so that she would have all the opportunities that they knew she deserved. Starting with her memories of being carried on her mother's back from Mexico to America and the process of becoming citizens she made it a point to make sure that her mother knew how much she loved and respected her. As she grew up in America, she experienced racism within the educational system as well as her mother making sure that she knows that unlike her she will never be anyone's maid. Angelica became everything that her mother wanted her to be, an independent woman who found her love for life when she decided to write the stories of her people because she felt like there weren't enough people representing them in Hollywood. A very simple and loving look at how far people are willing to go to ensure that their children have opportunities, the ability to make their own choices, and the ability to live free and bring to life all of the things that make their culture amazing.
