City Girl Meets Hartford: Book 1

By Elizabeth Licha Rivera

Elizabeth "Licha" Rivera shares a powerful coming-of-age memoir about growing up as a Puerto Rican girl navigating constant moves, inner-city life, and the search for stability.
From Pennsylvania to Hartford, Connecticut, Licha's childhood unfolds through vivid memories of neighborhood friendships, family struggles, and moments that could have easily changed the direction of her life.
Through the streets of Wadsworth, school days at Kinsella, and the vibrant Puerto Rican community that surrounded her family, Licha begins to understand the complex environment shaping children growing up in the inner city.
But amidst the noise of the city, there were lessons about faith, resilience, and the power of making different choices.
City Girl Meets Hartford is a heartfelt memoir about survival, identity, and discovering that even in the most unexpected places, hope can grow.
