The Children of Sanchez

This book is about a poor family in Mexico city, Jesus Sanchez, the father, age fifty, and his four children: Manuel, age twenty-two; Roberto, twenty-nine; Consuelo, twenty-seven; and Marta, twenty-five. My purpose is to give the reader an inside view of family life and of what it means to grow up in a one-room home in a slum tenement in the heart of a great Latin American city which is undergoing a process of rapid social and economic change.
