"But, something has to be worked through formally as well as emotionally. Now, when those two things come together I've got something, I think, that I can be proud of."

I had many reasons for writing this book but among them was the hope that every Latino child and adult would find something familiar in it. And my hope is that when they finish reading the book, that they will come away with a renewed sense of pride in our culture and in who we are. We get a lot of strength from that [culture and identity] and we should be proud of it.
