Download or read book Once Upon a Quinceanera written by Julia Alvarez and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-08-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, a “phenomenal, indispensable” (USA Today) exploration of the Latina “sweet fifteen” celebration, by the bestselling author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents and In the Time of Butterflies The quinceañera, a celebration of a Latina girl’s fifteenth birthday, has become a uniquely American trend. This lavish party with ball gowns, multi-tiered cakes, limousines, and extravagant meals is often as costly as a prom or a wedding. But many Latina girls feel entitled to this rite of passage, marking a girl’s entrance into womanhood, and expect no expense to be spared, even in working-class families. Acclaimed author Julia Alvarez explores the history and cultural significance of the “quince” in the United States, and the consequences of treating teens like princesses. Through her observations of a quince in Queens, interviews with other quince girls, and the memories of her own experience as a young immigrant, Alvarez presents a thoughtful and entertaining portrait of a rapidly growing multicultural phenomenon, and passionately emphasizes the importance of celebrating Latina womanhood.

Even though Estrella tries to keep her home life a secret from her school friends, things get even more complicated when she falls for Speedy, a cholo whom her new friends -- and her parents -- would definitely disapprove of. Caught between her family's wishes and the allure of her sophisticated friends, Estrella is forced to make some tough choices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro trata de una vida, una vida como pocas, pero al igual que muchas, llena de recuerdos; recuerdos amargos y recuerdos dulces; lágrimas y lamentos, alegrías y tristezas, dolor y regocijo, amor y pasión, ambición, esperanzas y anhelos. Y en fin, todo lo que se tiene que experimentar para forjarse un alma, y conocer la fe. Una vida como pocas, llena de lo anterior, y más aún. Aunque en la realidad, y visto a fondo, ninguna vida es igual a otras, pero el fin de todas, es el mismo... la felicidad. Si un hombre se pasa la vida obsesionado en busca de esta, no es muy seguro que la encuentre, porque normalmente, ella es la que llega a encontrarnos, y todo el mundo sabe que no es exclusiva de los que logran el poder y la riqueza Si no del espíritu que la merezca; Y no dudo que se le entregue al más jodido de los hombres, O al más rico, pero en la proporción, Que a cada quien le corresponde. Igual que con la autorrealización, Que no consiste en tener mucho, tener poco, o tener nada, Porque esta es personal, Y viene siendo la suma de todas las felicidades A lo largo de la vida. Como aquel que vive de la caza y de la pesca, Que la vive constante; O el obrero que de vez en cuando; O del empresario, que la siente a veces; O la del rico, que la tiene tal vez de vez en cuando; O el muy poderoso y millonario, Que siempre se la pasa tratando de encontrarla.

Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbors for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband... someday. Sometimes you fall in love with exactly the person you think you should... Or not. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest and heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying, and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either. But sometimes fate has a wicked sense of humor... Because when Billie and George are quite literally thrown together, a whole new sort of sparks begins to fly. And when these lifelong adversaries finally kiss, they just might discover that the one person they can't abide is the one person they can't live without...
