The narrative follows the author from her care-free childhood in Puerto Rico, to her struggles adjusting to her new life in the mainland USA.
The reader rejoices with her as she triumphs over prejudices and injustices in reaching for her goals in higher education and career, and also empathizes with her as she raises her children and goes through various tumultuous marriages and relationships.
It is a book that is worthy of being read, and that will resonate with many readers, such as myself, that grew up Puerto Rican in Brooklyn, New York, during the 1970's.
Nuyorican: Growing Up in Brooklyn is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble.com, and on the shelves of the Barnes & Noble store in downtown Brooklyn.
I recommend it.
