Ms. Santiago tells us the compelling story of her life as a young girl in Puerto Rico. Her mother struggles to raise an ever-growing family with occasional help from the father. Moving from place to place, Ms. Santiago's life seems to bounce from highs to lows and her relationship with "Mami," protective (at times overly so) but also abusive, is fascinating if at times frightening. Fortunately it all comes to a happy ending as her intelligence, talent, and perseverance bring her to success in spite of all her struggles.
