Acevedo, Sylvia
1 Reviews

4-6
Acevedo defied expectations growing up in a working-class Mexican American family in 1960s and 1970s Las Cruces, New Mexico. Thanks, in part, to childhood experiences in the Girl Scouts, she became a rocket scientist and is now CEO of the Girl Scouts of the USA. Acevedo doesn't shy away from matter-of-factly discussing difficult parts of her youth. Occasional black-and-white photographs between chapters add intimacy to her moving autobiographical account. Also available in Spanish.
