Named to Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2014 Named to School Library
Journal Best Books of 2014 Gabi Hernandez chronicles her last year
in high school in her diary: college applications, Cindy's
pregnancy, Sebastian's coming out, the cute boys, her father's meth
habit, and the food she craves. And best of all, the poetry that
helps forge her identity. July 24 My mother named me Gabriella,
after my grandmother who, coincidentally, didn't want to meet me
when I was born because my mother was unmarried, and therefore
living in sin. My mom has told me the story many, many, MANY, times
of how, when she confessed to my grandmother that she was pregnant
with me, her mother beat her. BEAT HER! She was twenty-five. That
story is the basis of my sexual education and has reiterated why
it's important to wait until you're married to give it up. So now,
every time I go out with a guy, my mom says, "Ojos abiertos,
piernas cerradas." Eyes open, legs closed. That's as far as the
birds and the bees talk has gone. And I don't mind it. I don't
necessarily agree with that whole wait until you're married crap,
though. I mean, this is America and the 21st century; not Mexico
one hundred years ago. But, of course, I can't tell my mom that
because she will think I'm bad. Or worse: trying to be White.
Isabel Quintero is a library technician in the Inland Empire. She

Graciela Iturbide was born in Mexico City in 1942, the oldest of
thirteen children. When tragedy strikes Iturbide as a young mother,
she turns to photography for solace and understanding. From then on
Iturbide embarks on a photographic journey that takes her
throughout her native Mexico, from the Sonora Desert to Juchitan to
Frida Kahlo's bathroom, then to the United States, India, and
beyond. Photographic is a symbolic, poetic, and deeply personal
graphic biography of this iconic photographer. Graciela's journey
will excite young adults and budding photographers, who will be
inspired by her resolve, talent, and curiosity.
