About this ebook
Cándida R. DeVito
Cndida Rosa DeVito was born in Honduras, and the drama of her 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.
