Flavor of Our Faith Review

This book is a rich glimpse in the life of Latina, who graceful weaves her life experience and Christian spirituality. It is a rich glimpse of a Christian who recognizes the beauty of being created Latina. Karen's short stories reveal the realities and joys of the Puerto Rican experience. Concise and compact each chapter will open numerous conversations and discussions. Karen's work reads a devotional and brings the reader back to divine direction and assurance. This is a must read for Latinas and Latinos who struggle at times to understand their tri-cultural identity (Christian, Latino & American). It's a must read for those interested in further understanding Hispanic culture and perhaps resonating with common themes, of incredible family ties and faith.
