Host Marcia Alvar speaks with Victor Villasenor, Hispanic-American novelist, writer of "Rain of Gold and Wild Steps of Heaven," the first two books of a planned trilogy that has been called the Latino "Roots." He tells stories of himself and his family, growing up in the United States and Mexico, and the difficulties he had in getting the first book published, as publishers were reluctant to label it as non-fiction. Villasenor has also written short stories and screenplays including the PBS film "The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez."
