| Puerto Rican Goldilocks: A Lyrical Journey Through El Barrio This book is a poignant cultural memoir that details Marisel’s first generation journey from the barrios of New York City to graduate school in the Southwest. What the author has done is lay bare the alma, the Latin soul. Her stories show how such nurture, encouragement and affirmation, at critical moments of childhood, help the human transcend the forces that could have kept one down. ” – L.
