A través de una voz personal y convincente, Ortiz Cofer rememora la niñez que pasó viajando entre el calor de la isla de Puerto Rico y el frío de New Jersey. Temas propios de la adaptación al nuevo medio de la gran urbe neuyorkina, asi como roles femeninos, choque cultural e inmigración, matizan esta conmovedora colección de relatos, que igualmente incluye poemas que enriquecen líricamente su narrativa.

Work Description
A collection of writings by the poet, novelist, and essayist recalling her childhood spent shuttling between the land of her birth and the family's home in New Jersey.
Ortiz Cofer recalls her childhood spent travelling between the heat of Puerto Rico and the cold of New Jersey with a personal and convincing voice. Themes of adapting to the big city, New York, feminine roles, culture shock, and immigration tinge this moving collection of stories. The narrative is also enriched by poems.
