Elizabeth Newby is seeking to say to all who will read that it is possible to turn challenges into opportunities - D. Elton Trueblood

For thirteen years, Elizabeth Loza Newby, the daughter of Mexican-American migrant farm workers, lived with her family in the back of an Army surplus truck as they followed the annual harvest of cotton, sugar beets, strawberries, and other produce back and forth across America. Within this minority subculture, Newby forged her own path despite the many obstacles presented by homelessness, poverty, discrimination, and oppression. That she was ultimately able to create a different life for herself is a testament to her strength and perseverance; that she is able to reflect on her experiences with equal measures of wisdom and compassion is a testament to her deep faith and love of family.A Migrant with Hope is the story not only of her life as the child of migrant farm workers but also of her spiritual journey to a new life that allowed her to remain connected to and in service of other migrant families and communities.
