This is Sonia's own story rendered with an unforgettable narrative power. When readers meet young Sonia, she isa child living amidst the squalor of a boisterous home that is filled with noisy relatives and nosy neighbors. Each day she is glued to the TV screen that blots out the painful realities of her existence and also illuminates the possibilities that lie ahead. But--click!--when the TV goes off, Sonia is taken back to real-life--the cramped, colorful world of her neighborhood and an alcoholic father. But it is Sonia's dream of becoming an actress that keeps her afloat among the turbulence of her life and times. Spiced with culture, heartache, and humor, this memoir paints a lasting portrait of a girl's resilience as she grows up to become an inspiration to millions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Manzano, Sonia $x Childhood and youth $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a Manzano, Sonia $x Family $v Juvenile literature. 600 11 $a Manzano, Sonia. 600 11 $a Manzano, Sonia $x Family. 650 0 $a Coming of age $z Bronx (New York, N.Y.) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Television actors and actresses $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Television writers $z United States $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Hispanic American women $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a Coming of age $z Bronx (New York, N.Y.). 650 1 $a Actors and actresses. 650 1 $a Television writers. 650 1 $a Hispanic American women. 650 1 $a Women $v Biography. 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Biography & Autobiography / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / People & Places / United States / Hispanic & Latino. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Family / General (see also headings under Social Issues). $2 bisacsh 941 $a 24 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430020551.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314011929.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022503.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214034045.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111010807.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012210.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092252.0 952 $l WBPB115 $d 20230209022320.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20221115010103.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518020432.0 952 $l LGPB975 $d 20210918012145.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722051203.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508021804.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107054421.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006090645.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131055425.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728025930.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160909010439.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20160723010403.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20160705013626.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20160319010311.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20160107010418.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20151215010404.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20150919010943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56B1066647CB11E598A1CBA4DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
