Publisher Comments

It's a long way from Santo Domingo to the Bronx, but if anyone can go the distance, it's the Garcia girls. Four lively Latinas plunge from a pampered life of privilege on an island compound into the big-city chaos of New York, where they embrace all that America has to offer.

`	Effie , April 15, 2007 (view all comments by Effie) The book is written in Alvarez' inimitable trademark style--very funny but with very serious overtones--like life itself.
