Summary: good book
Comment: The story of Soveida is one of the best ones I have read. Soveida is a Latina girl growing up in New Mexico. It is the story of her life and her growing up. It has a different plot line, of a Catholic girl who wants to be a saint as a little girl, but as she grows up she has more realilistic dreams. She begins to work in a local resturant as a young teen and continues to work there throughout her adult life. Her family is also a major part of her life. The author also includes stories of her parents, and her grandparents, and her great grandparents. It is a wonderful book full of family gossip, a great read.

Summary: A Great Book to Read
Comment: With school and all in the way, I manage to find time to read the book during bus rides. This is a beautifully written story about the Mexican-American women who struggle with thier identity and themselves. Soveida Dosamantes, the narrator of the book, daughter of Dolores and granddaughter of Mama Lupita, is an independent twice married woman working as a waitress at a restaurant runned by a Mexican-American who has little connection to his culture.
She deals with the men in her lives beginning with her father, who cheated on her mother constantly; her brother Hector, who marries a woman because she's pregnant, yet is involved with another woman; her first husband Ivan, who cheated on her with the town slut; Veryl, her Anglo husband who commits suicide; J.V., the professor who buries his head in academics; and Tirzio, the man she is in love with but is married.
Ms. Chavez's novel is moving describing how each woman dealt differently to their family situations, community and themselves. In addition to Soveida and her family, the other characters make the book an interesting read.
