— Marina Canals Barrera
In this compelling coming-of-age story, Karina beautifully describes the hardships, but also the Graces, of being raised by her single mom in Mexico, then immigrating to Los Angeles. This is a must-read for anyone yearning to understand what it is really like to overcome sexual abuse, loneliness and uncertainty to find her own strengths and power.
— Phyllis Mitz
This marvelous, playful, serious, sassy, enduring memoir brings joy. Karina Pacific's voice rings truth in fresh witty prose. Through sheer determination, she developed a perception for success. Her emotional quality is direct and intense. I find this work remarkably brave, a testimony to this miracle, life.
