Jasmine's Rosary Beads

Jasmine and her brothers are on a quest to their promised land to escape poverty and an abusive father. They are young and naïve to the sentiment of how some people feel for them in their new adopted country of the United States. They find out when Jasmine is sexually assaulted by the truck driver who smuggled them across the border. The young Mexicans make it to their promised land, but not without wounds and scars.

Their first meal on American soil is at a truck stop where they meet Hugh and Patsy Lohan, dairy farmers from a small Texas town. The Lohan’s take them in and give them work and a home. Jasmine finds out she’s pregnant and her brothers meet Johnny and Frankie, two hired hands on the farm who hate Mexicans. What happens is a roller coaster of emotions and sacrifice.

'Jasmine’s Rosary Beads' is a timely story of good and evil. It is not an immigration story; it is an American story.
