"Those who know me understand that I love to read almost as much as I love to eat. This book combines both of my loves - great writing and Mexican food. I love the descriptions in this book - Chavez makes me feel as if I were part of the main character Soveida's extended family."
"So much better than Last of the Menu Girls that I almost forgive the writer for telling a group of very poor children that only people who wrote in very fancy notebooks were real writers. Yes, Ms. Chavez, I was there."
"When I read this book I sink all the way in and never want to come out. Denise Chavez creates the most beautiful women- Soveida, her mother Dolores, her grandmother Lupe, her cousin Mara, their servant and friend Oralia. Soveida narrates all of their stories braided together. They are stories of service, of angels, of milagros- miracles."
