Manzano wrote The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano loosely based on her own life. Her work is filled with acculturation and passion that leaves you wanting more. She’s an incredibly powerful storyteller.

Set during the Great Depression, Esperanza Rising is most notable work. The characters’ struggles and various plot twists stick with you long after you’ve closed the pages of this book.
