I can totally see how this earned an award this year. It is full of feeling, and I won't be embarrassed to say that I actually teared up a little bit. It is based on a family of Latinos, but it can be applied to any relationship between a mother and a daughter, or the perceptions of each other's lives. I would have loved to read this book first as a teenager, and then later as a mother, but that won't happen. Hopefully a teen will be able to do this and see how the book speaks to them in different parts of their lives. All I have to say is that I appreciate these books that helps remind me what a teen sees and feels.
