American Chica: Two Worlds, One Childhood by Marie Arana

4.0

Trapped at home in the polar vortex, this was a great way to spend my time. Beautifully written (and I had to look up the meanings of words!) and expertly told, this memoir kept its focus on Arana's childhood and parents rather than getting lost in a long telling of her entire life. I loved the cast of supporting characters, from grandparents to cousins.
