Quiara was awed by her aunts and uncles and cousins, but haunted by the secrets of the family and the unspoken stories of the barrio -- even as she tried to find her own voice in the sea of language around her, written and spoken, English and Spanish, bodies and books, Western art and sacred altars. Her family became her private pantheon, a gathering of powerful orishas with tragic wounds and she vowed to tell their stories -- but first she'd have to get off the stairs and join the dance; she'd have to find her language. This is an inspired exploration of home, family, memory, and belonging, narrated by the obsessed girl who fought to become an artist so she could capture the world she loved in all its wild and delicate beauty -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hudes, Quiara AlegriÌa. 650 0 $a Hispanic American women dramatists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Racially mixed people $z Philadelphia $z Philadelphia $v Biography. 650 0 $a Language and culture $z America. 651 0 $a Philadelphia (Pa.) $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 17 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013900.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012359.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314022253.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020604.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022715.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221122011237.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20220929013324.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024153.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211102015713.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20211002012916.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210831010957.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064408.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210520010238.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210518010440.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210504015721.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210504013511.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210402013003.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BFF86CBA937C11EBBE0A7F0C56ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
