Following the enchanting story recounted in When I Used to be Puerto Rican of the writer’s emergence from the barrios of Brooklyn to the celebrated Performing Arts High School in Manhattan, Esmeralda Santiago delivers the story of her young adulthood, where she continually strives to discover a balance between becoming American and staying Puerto Rican. Whilst translating for her mother Mami on the welfare place of work within the morning, starring as Cleopatra at New York’s prestigious Performing Arts High School within the afternoons, and dancing salsa all night, she begins to defy her mother’s protective rules, only to seek out that independence brings new dangers and dilemmas.
