    About this ebook

    Debut novelist Anna Garcia Schaper weaves together the stories of two women who deal with tormentors: fifteen-year-old Pilar, who dreams of becoming an actor but is reminded constantly she's too fat, too Mexican, and her feisty but traditional grandmother, who years earlier had to come to terms with her own bully, her abusive husband.

      I had to buy this textbook for a class; I started reading it on my own before the semester even started. It's very interesting and informative, and well organized, with a clean layout.

      I do not regret for a second buying this book, and had I looked through it at the store I would have bought it even if it wasn't required.
