LEADING BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
by Rosario Marin

Rosario Marin was sworn in as the 41st Treasurer of the United States, making her the first naturalized citizen and the first Mexican-born person to serve in that post and the highest ranking Latina in the Bush Administration.

Leading Between Two Worlds is the story of her incredible journey. Rosario exposes her most personal secrets and impressive achievements as she divulges what she has sacrificed and what she has gained in politics. She takes us through a deeply felt betrayal, her struggle through depression, the creation of her family, her devotion to advocating for the rights of people with disabilities, and her joyous return to Mexico. Rosario's story is the story of every immigrant who -- in the face of unbelievable adversity -- seeks to make it in the United States. Her journey is one of tragedy and triumph, one from which readers will draw inspiration.
