#HispanicHeritageMonth

Good news: Every book has some good qualities! I looked for
nuggets of wisdom…good quotes: “Healing came from accepting that some things that touch us change us forever.” This was the core message in the book. Ms Rojas Contreas experienced 8 weeks of
amnesia and she wants to share her story with the world.

Bad news: While the first half of the book was good…
…I felt my interest start to decline after reading 55%..
It became repetitious and tedious…with all the
dreams, nightmares, ghosts, spirits and stories about
the healers in her family history:
grandfather Nono and her mother Mami. Sometimes less is more.

Personal: I selected this book without doing any research.
It is long listed for the National Book Awards 2022 for nonfiction…so
Ms Rojas Contreras is doing something right!
Perhaps other readers may enjoy this book …it was
just not my “cup of tea.”
