This riveting mosaic of vignettes begins with Lori as a newborn, being hidden from her violent grandfather, and concludes with her liberating escape to the United States. This richly-textured memoir explores the religious hypocrisy of mid-20th century Puerto Rico, its subjugation to the U.S., and the value of an education in a world dominated by a cruel and sexually predatory patriarchy.
"Silva's writing is
imbued with a style that is visually engaging, defiant, and
which is brimming with a multiplicity of voices."
--Lady Rojas Trempe
