RE: From a Quinta or Hacienda to a big City"- TheInkwell Creative NonfictionPrompt#68

in The Ink Well11 months ago

The challenges presented in this story are many. There was poverty, which meant clean water was not always readily available. There was a leaky roof, which did not prevent your mother from keeping a clean house. There was a client base, which had expectations if your mother was to maintain an income.

The arc in this story is gentle, but clear. The family begins with little, and lives with dignity despite this circumstance. In time, the family moves to better circumstance. The detail about your sister completes the arc. She dreams of one day living in an urbanized building where the Quinta sits. At the end of the story, your sister buys an apartment in that newly-constructed building.

A very nice story, that is not only a bit of family legacy, but also offers a slice of cultural history. Thank you for sharing this with us, @rammargarita.
