Title: Poignant story of the Puerto Rican experience
Review: I read this memoir a year ago but didn't have access to the Internet til this year. Although I was born in the 60's, this book reminded me of the "cuentos" my mom used to tell me about her childhood in P.R. My mother passed along the expressions, cooked the foods, talked the talk, walked the walk to make life better for her children. Santiago's triumph in the face of adversity is something Latinos should admire and emulate. The only negative aspect was Santiago's mother "falling in love" and having so many children--but then loving & children are our weaknesses. And to all those negative reviewers, maybe you should try writing your own memoir if you think you can do better. I think if publishers are willing to publish material from minorities, we should go for it. After reading Anglo books/memoirs all my life, I needed this. ALSO READ, "SILENT DANCING" by JUDITH ORTIZ COFER.
