This Eye That Looks at Me: First Cycle: Memoirs

This riveting mosaic of vignettes begins with Lori as a newborn, being hidden from her violent grandfather, and ends with Lori's liberating escape to the United States. This richly-textured memoir explores the religious hypocrisy of mid-20th century Puerto Rico, its subjugation to the US, and the value of an education in a world dominated by a cruel and sexually predatory patriarchy.
