| Abstract | "A memoir by a Mexican American woman that doubles as a love letter to the tough grandmother who raised her"-- Amazon.com |
| Abstract | Ramírez never fit in: her skin was darker and showed her Mexican heritage. Her grandmother called her Prieta-- it could be an insult, but from Ita's mouth it meant love. After the passing of her Ita, Ramírez began to write about her family's history as a way to hold on to their memories. Here she shares the experiences, chiefly in El Paso, that shaped her as a person. In the struggle of growing up between two cultures as a Mexican American, she found comfort through the loving words of a grandmother and the connection between women through generations. -- adapted from Amazon |
