This is a great book about afamily, including four sisters, who left their home, in the Dominican Republic, to New York City in 1960. The chapters are tells about the different family members and how they are adjusting and trying hard to escape the Dominican characteristics to be normal Americans. Great story!

A latin chic-lit story about sisters from the Dominican Republic adjusting to America without losing their latin culture. The story is humorous and entertaining :)

Uprooted from their family home in the Dominican Republic, the four Garcia sisters arrive in new York in 1960 to find a life far different than the genteel existence of maids, maincures and extended family they have left behind
