Summary

En su nueva memoria, la aclamada autora de Cuando era puertorriquena (CE021) continua su cautivante cronica describiendo su salida de los barrios de Brooklyn a los teatros de Manhattan. "Negi," como carinosamente la llama su familia, deja Macun, un campo de Puerto Rico, en 1961 para vivir en un apartamento de tres habitaciones en un proyecto de viviendas, con siete hermanas y hermanos pequenos, una abuela preguntona, y una mama estricta que no la dejaba salir con muchachos. A los trece anos, Negi anora su propia cama, privacidad, y una vida con su padre, quien permanece en Puerto Rico con su nueva esposa. Mientras traduce para Mami en la oficina delWelfare por la manana, hace el papel de Cleopatra en el prestigioso Performing Arts High School de Nueva York por las tardes, y baila salsa toda la noche, Negi ansia lograr un equilibrio entre ser norteamericana y ser puertorriquena. Cuando desafia a su madre al salir en una serie de graciosisimas citas, Negi descubre que la independencia trae consigo sus propios retos. Una conmovedora historia universal sobre la llegada a la mayoria de edad, a la vez que una valiente y sincera historia de inmigrantes, Casi una mujer es el triunfal camino de Santiago a hacerse mujer.
