¡Ándale Prieta!

by Yasmín Ramírez
NonfictionYoung Adult

A beautifully written memoir that disentangles both loved and difficult episodes, and their connection to people and places who would shape and inspire the life of a Mexican American woman. This book is also a compilation of moments with the protagonist’s grandmother, whose voice the reader will remember long after finishing the book. Ándale Prieta carves a portrait of the border region from two languages, music, food, and the colors of the desert. It is a portrait removed from stereotypes, rich with the casual tone of its language. It is a portrait that feels true to the experience of living between two cultures, and true to the experience of growing up with the guidance of loving figures and the resonating memory of their lives.
