I was given a list of books I had to choose from for a class . I chose this one & I am so glad I did. This book takes you inside what it was like for Piri Thomas a Puerto Rican growing up in Harlem. Is great for anyone who was born "different" than their immediate family. Really shows you how Piri felt and gives you a different outlook. Highly recommend this book, especially if you are studying cultural diversity.
