From the Source: The Memoirs of Mago Gilson
is more than just a memoir-it's an intimate and powerful journey that narrates the life of a woman shaped by love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of a better life. Margarita Moreno Zárate offers us a window into the Mexico of her childhood, a country of contrasts where modernization coexists with rural humility. From the traditions of her native Chiapas to the challenges of migrant life in the United States, these pages are a vibrant testimony of resilience and courage.
Through moving anecdotes and a voice that blends humor and nostalgia, the author invites us to witness the pivotal moments of her life: the fight for survival, the unconditional love of her family, and her transformation from a dreamy girl into an independent woman. Each chapter is a life lesson, reminding the reader of the importance of one's roots, the strength of love, and the power of the human spirit to overcome any adversity.
This book is a tribute to all the women and men who have defied the odds, who have left behind what they knew to build a future with their own hands. Margarita Moreno Zárate shares her story with humility and honesty, ensuring that what began as a legacy for her children becomes a source of inspiration for anyone searching for light in the midst of darkness.
"What could be more valuable than a story told by the one who lived it? Here, from the source itself, an extraordinary life is revealed."
Translated from the original Spanish by Jon Dell Jaramillo.
