In this beautifully wrought memoir, an award-winning writer weaves together dream fragments, family remembrances, and Chicano mythology, reaching back into time and place to blend the soul of one Mexican family with the soul of an entire people.

I enjoy reading this book especially because it relates so much with my background. Also it gives a enforcement for what I believe in and what I was thought by my parents to believe in. Culture is use to identify the different types of people that live in one area and share a common background. Also for those readers who are not Mexican American or who are not mestizos can experience what the life of a mestizo is like. I encourage for young teens to read this book because it is also a learning experience.
