"Aye Dios Mio", the meeting was so much fun and I truly enjoyed hosting and preparing Puerto Rican "Cuisine" for all of you. Hope you savored the meaning of the book with the real flavor of America's palate. We sorely missed Carmen, Irene, Maria P. and Tracy's contribution to our discussion. We're sorry a few of you were not able to attend the meeting and feast with us as well.
The discussion was LIVELY and "LOUD" according to my husband in another rooom behind closed doors. He didn't understand our excitement while discussing our book. Not to worry, he did not hear any of it. We focused on how melodrama exists in real life. A few of us shared stories of our own that were pure drama. Among the topics discussed were: women's relationships with daughters, mothers,men and employers, dual standards, machismo and adjusting to a new culture.
The book ends on a positive note for America: " she has a right to live that life as she chooses. It is, after all, her life, and she's the one in the middle of it." May we all empower our own daughters and sons to live the life they were meant to and see that there are always choices in life. "Que Dios Bendiga Su Vida". Diana
