A woman who picked cotton when she was so small she had to use a burlap bag for a cotton sack, labored in California's fields and orchards as a teen-ager, and didn't graduate from college until after her 50th birthday. She became a computer programmer, an instructor, and finally a writer, so she could chronicle her family's extraordinary story.
