The House on Mango Street

I see more and more people consuming these books and not walking into these situations with a quiet mind in which to allow to absorb the newness of the book. I promise you that none of you know what it's like to live in this place because you never have. It almost feels like this is a gift some of you just don't deserve.

The first time I read this book was in high school and I remember feeling so proud and so seen. This book feels like home. Within these pages you tap into culture of many kinds, different flavors, community, and secrets. It's a look into the day to day of those quiet times when you could be carefree. Life is still life-ing but every now and then you get to breathe.
