Salsa Serenade
Julia Rios figures salsa lessons at her aunt's dance studio are just the answer to spice up her life after a very public breakup with one of San Diego's most eligible bachelors. When a tall, handsome Tex-Mex cowboy struts into the studio, the usually cool Julia gets more sizzle than she bargained for when she finds herself paired with-and against-him. Ricardo Montalvo has a one track mind and wants more than to show his smooth moves to the stunning Julia. He wants to buy the dance studio. His motives falter as he gets to know her better. Julia shows the spunk and business savvy he admires, but he also learns just how fiercely loyal she is when family is at risk. Even though the buyout would benefit all of them, it suddenly seems like a lose-lose proposition. As they begin to savor every heated moment-on and off the dance floor-both know what's at stake. Will they remain in each other's arms when the music stops playing, or will they give up their song to save family?
Sonia Sotomayor
Arguably one of the most prominent US Supreme Court Justices at the moment, Sonia Sotomayor has paved her own way to enact profound changes and reforms, despite the obstacles that stood in her way. And she certainly has had her share of adversity: she was diagnosed with diabetes when she was just eight years old, lived in housing projects in the Bronx in her youth, and fought (and still is fighting) against blatant discrimination throughout her career. Now in her early 60s, Justice Sotomayor has already made history in being appointed to the Court as the first Latina justice, the third woman justice, and one of the three youngest justices in this position.

8 Ways to Say "I Love My Life!"
“If you don't do anything, nothing will happen.” Nancy De Los Santos Reza learned this important lesson early in life. College wasn't an option, so she got a job as a secretary. A colleague, an older woman who had taken a liking to her, encouraged Nancy to ask her supervisor about attending a professional conference in California. “What's the worst that could happen?” the woman asked. “They say 'no' and you don't go? You're already not going.” As a result, Nancy found herself in San Francisco on a life-changing trip. She would go on to earn two college degrees and become the producer of Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel's movie review program, At the Movies. De Los Santos Reza's is one...

Transforming Educational Pathways for Chicana/o Students
This book chronicles a 10-year journey to develop and sustain Adelante, a university-school-community partnership designed specifically to address public education’s failure to meet the needs of students of color, particularly Chicana/o students. The authors examine the persistent barriers, mistakes, challenges, and successes that emerged in their community-based partnership with elementary school students, college students, teachers, parents, and educational leaders. Intertwining critical race theories with Chicana feminist theories, they propose a “critical race feminista praxis” and provide real-world examples of what this praxis can look like in the context of a racialized, gendere...
