Gracias: a Collection of Family Memories introduces the reader to Adriana Falcon Trafford's life history, her struggles, and the family that gave her roots and wings to start a new life in her adopted country at age 40. Adriana's memoir grew out of ten years of writing and reflecting on her experiences in Chile and the United States; it is also the story of her family, spanning four generations. Written for her Chilean and American families and readers everywhere, this is Adriana's first book."
