When fifteen-year-old Carmen escapes her burning orphanage in Chicago, she has a choice: allow herself to be rounded up by the Red Cross and sent to a new orphanage or run away and try to realize her dream of becoming a famous model in New York City. She decides to run. Navigating the streets of the Big Apple on her own, Carmen does what she must to survive. With some unexpected assistance, she establishes a new identity for herself and makes plans for her future. Along the way, she meets five important men who change her perspective forever. In the end, she must choose between her first love-the man she gives her virginity to-or a man ten years her senior who helps her transform from an inexperienced teenager to a confident woman. The first of a planned trilogy, this romance novel follows a teenage orphan as she seeks a new life for herself.
Autorenporträt
As the daughter of Cuban parents who immigrated to the United States in 1949, I was raised on the foods of their country.But as I grew up and became a teenager, my taste was satisfied by a daily cheeseburger and french fries. At the age of fifteen, my mother would tell me it was time for me to learn how to cook because one day, I would have a family, and I would need to feed them some real food. I laughed it off and assured her that I would study and work hard and be able to afford someone to cook for me. She was right, I did all the things I promised, but once I did have a family, I looked back to my roots to provide for them. I found I enjoyed cooking and not only the foods of my country on Thanksgiving Day but also the traditional Cuban foods of Noche Buena.As the years have gone by, my family has become more American than Cuban. Many in my family are losing the Spanish language, yet they still love my cooking.I have preserved in this book a few of my family's favorite recipes to ensure that my children, grandchildren, family, and future generations I will never meet, retain the food of their heritage.
