Hailey Ro’s Reviews > Migrant Daughter: Coming of Age as a Mexican American Woman > Status Update

The antagonist of this autobiography of a migrant is not a physical being. The antagonist is a struggle, as poverty and racial differences/discrimination rise. Frances and her huge family in New Mexico suffer from the Great Depression and must move to California. This is because Frances's family experienced hardship over the years, and the only way they can survive is by accepting new opportunities in California.
