I was cleaning my room the other day and I stumbled across a book that I had to read my senior year of high school in my spanish class. For those you who like Breath, Eyes, Memory, you will love this book. The book When I was a Puerto Rican is written by Esmeralda Santiago and tells the story of a young girl who moves from Puerto Rico to New York City and struggles to keep her culture as well as fit in to American society. It deals with some of the same issues discussed in Breathe, Eyes, Memory such as keeping the culture of your native country and trying to fit into this new American society. If you are looking for a good book and a quick read this is a book for you.
