Memoir of a Wannabe Latina: A Latin American Love Song for My Sons

A Gringa's Warm Embrace of Lo Latino

Memoir of a Wannabe Latina is a fast paced, illuminating book that delves into author Anne Kirchheimer's adventures in Latin America while offering a snapshot history of the Americas. Opting to study Spanish as a high school student decades ago impacted the author's entire life--her studies, jobs, travel, friends, loves and her children. Ms Kirchheimer wrote the memoir for her two Brazilian-born sons, Joe and Kenny, who affectionately dubbed her with the catchy "Wannabe Latina" nickname.
