“Two Countries…Two Loves” by Irma Schettini Caiazzo is a book about life in San Juan Puerto Rico and NYC for a young Hispanic girl who learned it is possible to love your country of birth and be a proud American.
It chronicles life in Old San Juan and NYC during an exciting period of history WW II.
I would like to send a press release to be posted on your website to encourage Latinos to read it. I also lived for twenty five years in Las Cruces, NM just north of El Paso,TX.
