Growing Up Cuban in Decatur, Georgia

The only thing better is seeing her live, and my only complaint is that it wasn't longer. She's wonderful to listen to.

I love this tape! Have listened to it over and over again. I must say that this lady is the best story teller I have every heard! Every time I hear the part about when her Cuban Mother (who, of COURSE, is driving her crazy) says "When I'm gone you're gonna missss meeee", it makes me cry. What love, compassion and emotion she puts in her story telling. Excellent! I always laugh at the "little Carmen" who insists her name is "Carmen!...not Caaarrrrmeeeen (long drawled out southern style). A MUST have!!

Carman Agra Deedy is outstanding. My granddaughters can't get enough of this tape. We all love to listen as we travel in the car. I've about worn it out.I've been a fan of hers since she first published agatha's Featherbed and used that book all over the country doing teacher workshops.As the principal of an elementary school in SC, I'd loved to find out how to get a hold of Mrs. Agra Deedy to cotract for her to come to my school.

This book on tape was the best one that I have ever listened to! The content, stories of the author's childhood, were emotionally captivating. There are areas that every single person can relate to - funny, sad, inspiring and enlightening. Ms Deedy's tales brought me back to my childhood (growing up in a large Italian family in a small town). This is a great car tape, because the stories are all individual and relatively brief, making it easy to 'pop' the tape in for great entertainment!
