ikyra_marie - This is a wonderful book that contains a bunch of short stories.Every chapter is in a different point of view from different characters and i read it in about 2 days in spanish.It carries a very good and helpful message too.the story starts of where the main character dreams of having her perfect dream house for her family to live in so tey don't have to keep moving to different places every few weeks and months.She wants a real home.The story then goes on to tell the stories that formed the girl's childhood and how she matures.There is a bad incident that happens to her.May be alittle boring for some people.Sandra Cisneros is a great writer and I love all of her books and stories and short stories in our literature books!
