Emma González spent her childhood as a member of a migrant family, and from that came the story “Field Mice: Memoirs of a Migrant Child.”
In the book, through insightful vignettes, Gonzalez tells of the struggles of her family and her upbringing, crediting her friends and several teachers in Ovid, Colorado. The story was also redistributed as a children’s edition.
The Edinburg resident will be honored next week with two International Latino Book Awards from the Latino Literacy Now Foundation in Los Angeles, co-founded by Edward James Olmos.
“Field Mice” won Most Inspirational Novel and the children’s edition won Most Inspirational Book for Young Adults.
González’s next book, “Paths of Pearls: After The Migrant Years” is scheduled for publishing.
