S, Imperial Beach, California. My mom loved the outdoors and most of all, the ocean. She could body surf with the best of them, clear into her seventies!
It is at the center of my writing, this little town of Imperial Beach fondly known as IB. Many of my memoir stories and the novel-in-progress are set in Imperial Beach and the San Diego area, which will always be home to me. I was going to get college credit for READING as much of the great literature of the world as the curriculum could require and then some, as I read in my free time too.
And as I taught, I learned of more authors and more books, poems, essays. We didn't know they were THAT close until we saw a plane's view photo of the house. Our home always includes dogs from rescue groups--we have down-sized from labradors after Pete and Clayton died to smaller, crazier breeds, a cockerpoo and a terrier mix.
I taught high school senior English until I realized that I had more homework grading papers than my students did and finally said, "Hey--it's time to LIVE! I have used writing as my voice in the wilderness since I was about seven.
As Annie Lamott said in "Bird by Bird," a writer is often the good, quiet child, watching from the sidelines, observing and remembering. So it was with me. My husband and I plan to move to the Ozarks as soon as we can.

I often visit our Missouri home for the solitude it provides for thinking and writing. We can't wait to move out of LA madness. I chose this book because I liked the cover. It told me it would be about a mother and daughter. I have two daughters of my own and because of this I gravitated to this book. It exceeded my expectations for two main reasons. It was about the Hispanic family and the desire to obtain higher learning. To me is was easy reading. I was able to follow the story line to great detail.
I enjoyed the ending, sweet and simple. I would recommend this book to any young lady that is heading to college or leaving home in general to seek there own future.

I would readily recommend this book to my young adult relatives and friends. It was with some misgivings that this middle-aged male read this coming-of-age tale about Carmen, a Mexican girl embarking on her journey through life in a new land.

The author's turn of phrase hooked me in from the Prologue onwards. Try this sample excerpt: Mama spread her striped serape to draw me close and keep me safe. I trembled against her like a shy toddler. I unreservedly recommend this book to anyone - male or female - who enjoys stories about love, families, relationships, traditions and traditional values.
You won't be disappointed. The Pinata Maker's Daughter is a tale of self-discovery and transition. Carmen poignantly and successfully deals with her traditional Hispanic upbringing conflicting with the California university experience she desires. At the same time, Carmen is proud of her mother and culture, but wants to fit in with the university group. Again, this is something I experienced. Granfors does a good job at developing the characters at the university each one forcing Carmen to examine who she is and how she wants to act.
Her values and emotions are challenged when she becomes involved with two men: Refresh and try again. Open Preview See a Problem? Thanks for telling us about the problem. Return to Book Page.
