Publisher's Synopsis

Learn what it means to be a fly in milk-a migrant child working in the fields of White America. A Brown teen in love with a White girl. A transplant into a whole other culture, so obviously out of place in a sea of European descendants.

What are the highs and lows in the quest to belong? How do naturalized citizens honor their Aztec, Nahua, and Tenochtitlan ancestors who assimilated into a brave new world after the Spanish conquest?

Join Victor Vasquez on a journey through his childhood, young adulthood, military service, and government service as a presidential appointee in the Clinton and Obama administrations. You'll delve into the lives of his distant relatives - skilled warriors, builders, doctors, poets, and artists - as they, too, embarked on their own quests for destiny and identity.

The strange dichotomies of old and new, sacred and sullied, myth and truth are certain to captivate audiences and challenge preconceived notions about brown-skinned people everywhere.
