La historia de Esmeralda Santiago comienza en la parte rural de Puerto Rico, donde sus padres y siete hermanos, en continuas luchas los unos con los otros, vivían una vida alborotada pero llena de amor y ternura.

De niña, Esmeralda aprendió a apreciar cómo se come una guayaba, a distinguir la canción del coquí, a identificar los ingredientes en las morcillas y a ayudar a que el alma de un bebé muerto subiera al Cielo. Pero precisamente cuando Esmeralda parecía haberlo aprendido todo sobre su cultura, la llevaron a Nueva York, donde las reglas --y el idioma-- eran no sólo diferentes, sino también desconcertantes. Cómo Esmeralda superó la adversidad, se ganó entrada a la Performing Arts High School y después continuó a Harvard, de donde se graduó con altos honores, es el relato de la tremenda trayectoria de una mujer verdaderamente extraordinaria

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

One of "The Best Memoirs of a Generation" (Oprah's Book Club): a young woman's journey from the mango groves and barrios of Puerto Rico to Brooklyn, and eventually on to Harvard

In a childhood full of tropical beauty and domestic strife, poverty and tenderness, Esmeralda Santiago learned the proper way to eat a guava, the sound of tree frogs, the taste of morcilla, and the formula for ushering a dead baby's soul to heaven. But when her mother, Mami, a force of nature, takes off to New York with her seven, soon to be eleven children, Esmeralda, the oldest, must learn new rules, a new language, and eventually a new identity. In the first of her three acclaimed memoirs, Esmeralda brilliantly recreates her tremendous journey from the idyllic landscape and tumultuous family life of her earliest years, to translating for her mother at the welfare office, and to high honors at Harvard.

Sturdy and good price
Size: 10 Inch, Unit Count: 44
These plates a wide and sturdy. We use them everyday at home to minimize dirty dishes which makes cleaning really easy. We’ve had even stew on them which can be very soupy and they don’t leak and they don’t get soggy. It’s also a good price point for the amount of plates it comes with. Good for everyday use or for hosting as well

Paper plates are something you really need to shop around and these from Amazon are well made and priced to sell. They hold up well when we are looking to have a quick bite for lunch or a midday snack.

Great Lotion for the price
Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I recently picked up the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Hand & Body Lotion, and I have to say, it’s quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. The first thing I noticed was the rich, creamy texture. It glides on smoothly and doesn’t leave that greasy feeling that some lotions do, which is a huge plus for me. The cocoa butter scent is delightful but not overwhelming. It reminds me of a warm, cozy day, and it lingers just enough to be pleasant without being too much. I usually apply it after my showers, and my skin feels so hydrated and soft for hours afterward. I also appreciate that it comes in a big 32 oz size. I feel like I’m getting good value for my money, and I don’t have to worry about running out anytime soon. Plus, it’s versatile—perfect for both my hands and body. Overall, I’ve enjoyed using this lotion, and it’s definitely helped to keep my skin feeling moisturized, especially as the weather gets colder. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that really delivers on hydration and has a lovely scent, I’d recommend giving this one a try!
