Sponsored by Ordinary Girls by Jaquira Díaz, now available in paperback from Algonquin Books.

In this electric debut memoir, Jaquira Díaz writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age.

While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, Díaz found herself caught between extremes. As she longed for a stable home, her life was upended by violence. As her mother battled schizophrenia, Díaz was supported by the love of her friends. As she celebrated her culture, she couldn’t find support for her queer identity. She writes with raw honesty, mapping a way out of despair toward hope to become who she always wanted to be.
