Island of Dreams. By Jasminne Méndez. ISBN 978-1493580880. $13.95
In "Island of Dreams," author Jasminne Méndez, addresses these questions "of not being Dominican enough or American enough to call either place home. We live and love with one foot on the ground and one foot in the sea,” and their complicated answers in a multi-genre memoir that effortlessly blends poems and short stories to offer a glimpse into the challenges, joys, hopes, fears and disappointments she and her family faced being Dominican in America. Her work explores everything from the love/hate relationship she had with her hair and her mother, to the many memorable but sometimes unpleasant family vacations and holidays she shared with her parents, siblings, primos, tíos, y tías. These captivating stories and poems are about family, food, love, culture, self-discovery, assimilation, and the American dream. They are about a young girl who respects the richness and abundance of her cultural history, but who struggles to form her own identity because her Dominican values conflict with her American self and all she wants to do is find a place to call home.
