Finished When I Was Puerto Rican last night.

A great book about the childhood of the author.

Esmeralda Santiago was born in the countryside of Puerto Rico.

Grew up in various places in Puerto Rico.

Although the family was destitute, Santiago experienced much love.

During her childhood, many experiences in the countryside.

Learned how to eat a guayaba, or guava, a local fruit, and learned how to identify the song of the coqui, a native frog.

At the age of fourteen, she arrived in New York City.

Where her life changed completely.

She was still Puerto Rican, of course, but she was also now something else.
