There is certainly some anger, if not hostility towards the Spanish language which is displayed in this book. I can clearly see that Kephart has a frustration towards her husband's language, but it also turns out to be a bit of hostility to her husband's culture. His Spanish vs. Her English. She uses the term exotic in a way that makes you wonder about her own perspective, even when she speaks of her own son, "There was something foreign about Jeremy from the start". There is something about her that doesn't embrace her husband's culture, as a Salvadorian, I can tell you that the best thing she could have done was embrace his culture and learn to not look at the people as exotic or different. By the end of the book I was angry. I'm still angry at the presentation of the Salvadorian people
