review 1: Beautifully written. I enjoyed every minute...so much so that I wrote a review for Ms. Magazine about it. I posted it once before I believe, and I think including the link prevented my review from posting, so instead of linking to it, I'll just say--google my name and Raquel Cepeda and Ms. Magazine, and you should find it easily! If you're not willing to do that, just know that the book is fantastic.
review 2: Loved Raquel's story~ part memoir, part cultural, spiritual, scientific investigation. The book raises great issues about race, culture, and relationships. Her journey brings to mind my own journey of how I'm who I am: as a Latina, Mexican American, American, Chicana. Who am I? Who are we? Can that be defined? Perhaps it depends on where we are or our env... moreironment... Family, friends, enemies, pop culture, music, language- all morph us into what and who we are and represent. Her book is an important one, beautifully written. less
