(3) YA Hispanic Biographies series. Highlighting the effects of poverty and of mixed-parentage on Cisneros's young life and the difficulties of being a Chicano writer in a mostly white, middle-class literary world, the author also discusses Cisneros's personal strengths, convictions, and vulnerabilities. The result is a well-balanced look at an individual who is both shaped by and a shaper of the world around her. A chronology and black-and-white photos are included. Bib., ind.
