Small room, big dreams : the journey of Juli?n and Joaquin Castro
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

"The story of political powerhouse twins Juli?n and Joaqu?n Castro began in the small room that they shared with their grandmother Victoriana in San Antonio, Texas. Victoriana crossed the border from Mexico into Texas as a six-year-old orphan, marking the start of the family's American journey. Her daughter Rosie, Juli?n and Joaqu?n's mom, was an activist who helped the barrio through local government. The strong women in their family inspired the twins to get involved in politics. Juli?n and Joaqu?n have been working at the local, state, and national level--as a former presidential candidate, mayor and member of President Obama's Cabinet, and a U.S. Congressman, respectively--to make the country a better place for everyone"--,Provided by publisher.
