By:

A marvelous anthology from the editors of Las Christmas—the bestselling author of When I Was Puerto Rican and the founder of L.A. Weekly—in which our most acclaimed Latino authors share unforgettable memories of their mothers.

The women lovingly portrayed in Las Mamis represent a cross section of Latino life and culture. They come from rich families in the big cities of Latin America, from rural immigrant families, and from the worlds in between—and they share an extraordinary inner strength, often maintained against incredible odds. Pressed by conflicting cultural expectations, circumstance, and religion, they have managed the challenges of motherhood, leaving enduring legacies for their children. Now, in these vivid, poignant, and sometimes hilarious reminiscences—all of them infused with distinct sabor latino—Las Mamis celebrates the universality of family love and the special bond between mothers and children.
