life story matches that of her country: a rich and tragic marriage
between the indigenous Mayan population and the Spanish.
Cndidas beauty, wisdom, grace, and tenacity came from her father, Jos
Mndez Guilln, who was a rancher, philosopher, and poet. She inherited
from her mother, Mara Martnez Chvez, her indigenous features and
indomitable spirit.
Her journey from the remote village of Las Limas, in Honduras to
Boston, Massachusetts, in the early 1960s gave Cndida false hope of
a newfound freedom. However, she soon discovered that her cultural
and religious fall-out did not exclusively belong to Honduras, and she
predictably faced countless challenges and obstacles in her new homeland.
Nevertheless, in the midst of tremendous struggles, she was able to be a
loving wife and raised four children.
Having to overcome language and cultural barriers, Cndidas family
and friends proudly witnessed her transformation from a timid young lady
with only an elementary school education to a highly educated and confident
woman. She obtained a masters degree in Spanish literature from Boston
College and had an accomplished career as a teacher for Boston Public
Schools. She received numerous awards for her excellence and dedication
and has appeared in several newspapers, including the New York Times.
The writing of her life story is the fulfillment of a personal dream and
an inspiration to all. Cndida is happily married and lives in the Boston
area with her husband, Paul.view less
