Bastard

Product Description Robert Champion was born of two worlds. Maria, the young Mexican woman who gave him birth, called him Jesus with the soft Spanish accent, Hesus. Destined to be the Bastard, Maria tricked El Patron's son Roberto into thinking he started a son in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Brought up as a rico in the South Texas town of Cortinas, Roberto thought to help the migrant workers of his mother's family. A Colorado beet farmer changed those plans. Bastard, a tale of those who worked at cutting lettuce until time to go north and thin sugar beets, this is the powerful story of farm migratory workers.
