Ada DeJesus is the author of El Baile De Otavo Y Otros Recuerdos (The Eighth-Grade Dance And Other Memories). In this episode, Ada shares the experience of writing her coming of age, vignette-style story. Her book is told completely from her point of view, and details the experiences of moving to the U.S. from Puerto Rico, as well as all of the challenges that went along with that. Finding inspiration from Sandra Cisneros, Ada also talks about meeting Cisneros recently. Follow her at www.writeradadejesus.com and at @authoradadejesus on Instagram!
