Historias: Betty and Matthew Duran

By Candace Miller-Murphey

Albuquerque, NM – Conversation by conversation, StoryCorps Historias is collecting the Latino stories and voices of our time. College professor Betty Duran, born and raised on Pojoaque Pueblo, talks with her son Matthew about the joy of becoming a mother... But the first time Betty discovered that she was pregnant, she was surprised, and not exactly elated...
