About this ebook
Maria Acosta
I was born in Mexico and came to the U.S.A. when I was a child- have lived in California most of my life. I took piano and voice lessons in an Academy of Music that sponsored radio programs every Sunday. I sang every other week. I went to a Business College and became a bilingual secretary. Singing professionally I met the young man whom I later married. I had my two sons in the first 3 years of my marriage. I went to college again and became a Realtor-I work part time. I have been working on my second book and continue to sing.
