BARBARA LEOS TITLE OF THE STORY: OVERCOMING THE RIVER STORY SOURCE MATERIAL: Original story TALETYPE: Personal story STORY RATING: Young Adults/Adults ABSTRACT/SUMMARY OF THE STORY: Born in 1923, Reyna (pronounced Ray-na) was forced to move to a country that she did not accept as her own, learn a language she had never spoken, and at the age of 7 find a job to help support her family. This story is about my grandmother who would not accept “no” as an answer and how her defiance created a beautiful world of opportunity and love for her family. My story will celebrate how one remarkable woman overcame a river to save her family and offer hope to the generations of women that not only would follow, but that she would help raise. |
