    About this ebook

    In From Catalina…with Love, Doris Pereyra-Rosenberg tells the deeply moving and at times unsettling tale of her upbringing in a large, poor family, which exposed her to various “homes” and traumatic experiences. Her ability to survive those early days and eventually thrive as a successful and joyous adult, despite many setbacks, is at once uplifting and inspiring. This very sobering story does happily lead to a heartfelt reunion of a group of childhood friends known as “Los Fosforitos.”
