Have you ever wondered what it’s like to leave everything behind and move to a new country and culture?
For the Soto family, survival meant more than just making ends meet—it meant crossing borders to start over in a foreign land where language, culture, and dignity felt just out of reach.
When Lupe was just eight years old, she found herself in the middle of cherry orchards and dusty fields, working arduous long hours alongside her parents and siblings. Her family had once lived a life of wealth and power in Mexico—but when her mother left everything behind to search for her estranged husband in the U.S., that life was replaced by one of sacrifice, survival, and relentless hard work as migrant workers.
Where Money Grows on Trees is a deeply personal story of courage, resilience, and love. It’s about a mother who led with courage when there was no roadmap, who held her family together through poverty, culture shock, and her husband’s alcoholism—while never letting her children forget that they were meant for more.
