    About this ebook

    Written in English, Spanish and a touch of Spanglish, La Chancleta combines a story told by a former coworker raising a daughter by herself in the Bronx, and something overheard on the bus by another single mother in the Lower East Side – both strong Latino enclaves in New York City. The story stands for so much of growing up Latina in the city. La Chancleta is part of the mini memoirs, Remembrance of Dingbats and also appears in Cuentos y Recuerdos: La Colección Latina, available in e-book and paperback in online stores.
