Dream in Color: How the Sánchez Sisters Are Making History in Congress

By sharing moments from their childhood in Southern California, Linda and Loretta will pass on the values and traditions they learned from their parents—Mexican immigrants who, despite not having graduated high school themselves, made sure all seven of their children went to and graduated from college—that enabled them to conquer challenges and make history. They will speak frankly on the professional highs and lows, successes and scandals that constitute their distinguished careers, and show that the key to realizing your dreams is, above all else, always be true to yourself.
