Thank you to NetGalley, Hachette Audio, and Seal Press for this e-arc and alc in exchange for an honest review. 

“I see so many of the women in my family reflected in my behaviors, core belief systems, and overall views of the world.”

“This book is all my dreams for us, all my love I could write down and manifest onto us. And yet, it only scratched the surface.” 

Tías and Primas: On Knowing and Loving the Women Who Raise Us by Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez has taken many different female archetypes found in Latine/x families and reclaimed the narratives usually associated with them. As I read this book, there were several instances where I could see parts of myself and the women in my life reflected on the page, but I was also met with instances in which my experiences with these archetypes were vastly different from how they were presented in this book. And all of our varying experiences are valid.
