A Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright tells her lyrical story of coming-of-age against the backdrop of a devastated barrio, with her sprawling, idiosyncratic, love-and-trouble filled Puerto Rican family as a collective muse.
Quiara Alegria Hudes was the sharp-eyed girl on the stairs while her family danced in her grandmother’s tight South Philly kitchen, “frizzy hair cut short, bangs teased into stiff clouds, sweat glistening in the summer fog, pamper-butt babies weaving between legs.” 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 langauge.
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.

Deb‘s opinion.
Color: Black
Irritating, if you want a quick grab the dish rag hanging on there because then the holder comes off along with the dish rack. Otherwise, I love it. Good quality, nice size love the organization feature.

Convenience!
Color: Black
Where have you been all my life? This is the best thing I ever bought! I was so sick of hanging my dishcloth on the faucet or between the 2 sinks. Now it has a place of its own. Makes may life easier now. It’s the little things that matter!

I really enjoy the compact design
Color: Black
Just purchased this to go with our new granite composite sink. Looks great, and water runs off in the sink just like shown. I wasn’t sure I could deal with what I consider clutter, but it’s not so bad for the convenience of the product.

Cute white kitchen caddy
Color: White
This is just a really cute little caddy and as simple as it is, it really makes your kitchen sink much neater Just the perfect size for some sponges and soap and I like the little holder that you can put your dish cloth on helps keep it dry, so it won’t sour.

Works great and looks good! Highly recommend!
Color: Black
My wife loves this! It looks good and works well where the water runs into the sink as it should and doesn't collect in the bottom. Highly recommend!
