    About this ebook

    Rivers to Cross begins with the family history of two young men whose origins came from opposite sides of the Rio Grande. It then follows them from birth on into adulthood where they were unwilling to allow prejudice or their many differences divide them. They shared each other's joys and tragedies, agreements and disagreements, highs and lows. Though following very different life courses, they maintained a respect for one another and a commitment to one another that shaped their worldview.
