The Mongrel
Bi-cultural Adventures of a Latina-Scandinavian Youth
A summertime trip to Mexico at the onset of World War II changes the course of Connie Carmona's life. Instead of returning to their home in California, eight-year-old Connie and her family remain undocumented in the Mexican capital where she grows up to experience a bi-cultural life in two languages.
The eldest daughter of a South American father from Chile and a mother born of Finnish immigrants, Connie's story reveals her universal, ongoing search to identify a place where she belongs.
Author Connie Fisher presents a series of lively, youthful ventures juxtaposed by timely world events that show how Connie is unafraid to defy convention or plunge into a world unwelcome to women. The Mongrel reveals bi-cultural experiences growing up nearly a century ago. It's a story that leaves the reader with a desire to learn even more about living in a multicultural world.
