Tapestry from a Simple Mind

About the Book

This book is a collection of fictional events about everyday people. People you meet at a store, such as a soldier who sits waiting for his bus, and a mother’s memory of her first born child. You will meet a man who is lost within himself, and find a son who learns to forgive. Through the author's poetry and fiction, these characters become everyday people expressed in a simple, yet powerful language.

About the Author

My name is Nancy R. Garcia I was born in Reedley California. I come from a large Mexican-American Family, four brothers and three sisters. We moved to Fresno in the early sixties, where I started scribbling on my garage walls, as I did laundry with our old ringer type Maytag washing machine. I have always prayed and dreamed of being a published author. I have been working since age five with my parents and siblings; whether it was, picking boysenberries’, grapes, and cotton or working 10 hours on a tomato harvester machine. I am proud to be a child of farm working parents; it’s their hard work that has shaped all of us into what we are today. I love Fresno and I will never leave. Fresno is home.
