Melissa Lima is a writer with a background in student life. Don't let that fool you though. 'The House on Mango Street' became a unique blueprint for Lima to understand her life, her story and eventually help others understand theirs. Our conversation has metaphors, a 'Little House on the Prairie' reference and a PSA for public libraries! Listen along and discover fresh insights on a book you may have read in middle school!
