Excellent Reading, Highly Recommend

Definitely a book that all women (whether PRican, Mexican, from any Latin American country) can relate to. I am Puerto Rican and all the stories can be related to our culture in one aspect or another.... I enjoyed these stories very much and would love to give to my daughter to read; however, she is still too young (only 11) and some are too depicting for her age. I hope to read more of her works... Excellent style, wonderful descriptions and so interesting and captivating.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book

Having grown up in the bronx an hispanic female, I felt much of the pain that Ms. Mohr describes in her book. I wish more hispanic authors would bare their souls in their literature
