He wanted to be treated like a man, not a child. Every summer the men of the Chavez family go on a long and difficult sheep drive to the mountains. All the men, that is, except for Miguel. All year long, twelve-year-old Miguel tries to prove that he, too, is up to the challenge'that he, too, is up to the challenge'that he, too is ready to take the sheep into his beloved Sangre de Cristo Mountains. When his deeds go unnoticed, he prays to San Ysidro, the saint for farmers everywhere. And his prayer is answered . . . but with devastating consequences. When you act like and adult but get treated like a child, what else can you do but keep your wishes secret and pray that they'll come true. This is the story of a twelve-year-old Miguel Chavez, who yearns in his heart to go with the men of his family on a long and hard sheep drive to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains--until his prayer is finally answered, with a disturbing and dangerous exchange.

Frank Capra

The Catastrophe of Success

By: Joseph McBride

Moviegoers often assume Frank Capra's life resembled his beloved films (such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life). A man of the people faces tremendous odds and, by doing the right thing, triumphs! But as Joseph McBride reveals in this meticulously researched, definitive biography, the reality was far more complex, a true American tragedy. Using newly declassified U.S. government documents about Capra's response to being considered a possible “subversive” during the post-World War II Red Scare, McBride adds a final chapter to his unforgettable portrait of the man who gave us It Happened One Night, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, and Meet John Doe.

And Now Miguel

By: Joseph Krumgold,Jim Hughes

...AND NOW MIGUEL is an adaptation of the Newbery Award winning novel of the same name by Joseph Krumgold, published by Harpercollins Children's Books.. This one set musical has a cast of 14, half youth, half adult. However, it has had productions with as many as 35 people. The story is set among a Hispanic sheep-herding extended family in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near Taos. Twelve-year-old Miguel dreams of joining the men when they spend the entire summer in the high meadows grazing their sheep. He makes a wish to Saint San Ysidro and gets his wish, but at a price he does not want to pay. For adults, it's a story of the pains endured when children leave "the nest", for the youth, it's a story of growing up.

By the Golden Gate (Esprios Classics)

By: Joseph Carey

The meeting of the General Convention of the Church in San Francisco, in 1901, gave the writer the long-desired opportunity to visit the Pacific coast and see California, which since the early discoveries, has been associated with adventure and romance. Who is there indeed who would not travel towards the setting sun to feast his eyes on a land so famous for its mineral wealth, its fruits and flowers, and its enchanting scenery from the snowy heights of the Sierras to the waters of the ocean first seen by Balboa in 1513, and navigated successively by Magalhaes and Drake, Dampier and Anson?
