From the Publisher:
"Santiago's autobiographical account cinematically recaptures her past and her island culture. What is particularly appealing about Santiago's story is the insight it offers to readers unaware of the double bind Puerto Rican Americans find themselves in: the identity in conflict. Is [she] black or white? Is she rural or urban? Even more importantly, is she Puerto Rican or is she American? [One] can only be grateful that Esmeralda Santiago has chosen to explore her culture and share what she has found."--The Los Angeles Times Book Review
About the Author:
Esmeralda Santiago is the author of two highly acclaimed memoirs, "The Turkish Lover" and "Almost a Woman," which was made into a film for PBS's Masterpiece Theatre. She has also written a novel, "America's Dream," and has co-edited two anthologies of Latino literature. She lives in Westchester County, New York.
