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.

Great quality
Size: 12 Packs, Style: Lunch Napkin
Napkins arrived quickly. There is a lot of them but we will use them. They are good quality, have not had any rip on us. They absorb liquids and food pretty well, cleans the hands like they should. They feel like normal napkins, soft but tough enough to wipe with. Good product that I will continue using.

Great plated and nice designs to chose from . These are good and strong.
Size: 10 in-140 count
Love these plates for every soy. I normally use paper plates for lunch but I started using them for non messy dinners. We have even used them for spaghetti. They handled the sauce and meaball and sausage with no problem. I would normally U.S. China plates for something like the, I got lazy one night and used these I was pleasantly shocked they worked with no leak through.

Sturdy plates
Size: 10 in-140 count
I purchased these but I normally go to Sam’s Club for bulk. I had a party and these were a hit. Very sturdy and plenty of room. I don’t really like the edges, they’re straight but that’s cosmetic preference not function.
