Iam is a romance therapist and best-selling author whose award-winning books address topics from astrology to angels, love, and sex; she also writes for New York's La Prensa and appears regularly on Univision's Despierta America and Telemundo's De mananita. Originally published in 2002, and winner of the 2003 Latino Literary Award for best self-help book, this is about names in the Spanish-speaking world, their meaning and significance, and their impact on our personality, attitudes, and relationships with others. Chapters are dedicated to the essential characteristics of the letters of the alphabet and the crystals, gems, and precious stones associated with specific names; the symbolic energy of colors; and the characteristics of essential oils and flowers. The bulk of the book is an alphabetical description of the personality of each name, including the name of the guardian angel associated with it, major personality traits, and compatible astrological signs. Useful for expectant parents and a fun read for the general public; recommended for large public libraries and general bookstores.-Yolanda J. Cuesta, Cuesta MultiCultural Consulting, Sacramento, CA
