The author's journey begins as she, full of love for Mexico and its culture despite her closest blood connection being her \u003cem\u003ebisabuela\u003c\/em\u003e, boards a bus. She starts out determined: \"Yes foreign is a word for fear. Yes I am coming home.\" But then, because \"it is afraid, staying in a language where you were not born,\" she retreats, hiding first behind \u003cem\u003ewe\u003c\/em\u003e, then behind masks. But when it becomes clear that the masks are her true self, she loses her fear, and barrels ahead as \u003cem\u003eI\u003c\/em\u003e, fully committed, all the way to the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHaskins, Lola:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLola Haskins\u003c\/strong\u003e has published twelve books of poetry and three of prose.
