edited by Sandra Dunn and Silvia P. Heredia with a guest section edited by Antoinette Hertel:
This 330-page bilingual collection takes the reader through sections on Immigrant Realities, Childhood, Motherhood, Faces of Illness and Faces of Love, through the voices of 23 women writing with Herstory all over Long Island and 11 women from Sutiaba, Nicaragua. Rarely do students in ESL, foreign language, sociology, writing and women’s studies classes have the chance to experience literature created by people “just like them.” A vital reader for community welcoming groups, book clubs, and classroom use.
