"A Merloyd Lawrence book."
Advance uncorrected Reader's edition
"Martes, ni te cases, ni te embarques, ni de tu familia te apartes." -- "Something could happen to you." -- "I don't care what American girls do." -- "Are you going to be famous?" -- "But they're still illegitimate." -- "What's a Cleopatra dress?" -- "Don't you want to sound Puerto Rican?" -- "I don't care if the whole world is going." -- "She's not exactly Method." -- "Stop thinking and dance." -- "It must be a sin to be so disrespectful to the Virgin." -- "Who do you think you are?" -- "Pearls bring tears." -- " Music inside her." -- "What size bra do you wear?" -- "It wouldn't look right."" -- "Your face is no longer innocent." -- "Where were you last night?" -- "For that slave-girl look..." -- "It is the way it must be.""
Moving beyond the poignant childhood story she told in "When I Was Puerto Rican", Esmeralda Santiago- author of "American Dream" and one of the country's leading Latina voices- recalls her extraordinary journey into womanhood.
