This book is based on a phenomenological study on
undocumented Mexican immigrant mothers of high school
students who have lived in the U.S. for at least five years and
received social services. Most of these mothers have emigrated
from rural areas of the central and southern Mexican States of
Guanajuato, Michoacan, Queretaro, among others. According
to the participants, socio-economic conditions forced them to
leave their homelands hoping to find a better life in the U.S.
