A Review of Congresswomen Sanchez’s novel Dream In Color
Posted by LMReviewsApr 20
Welcome back!
In Congresswomen Linda and Loretta Sánchez’s inspirational book, Dream in Color, the sisters of congressional politics discuss their humble upbringing in El Monte and Anaheim, California. The sisters, parented by Mexican immigrants in a house with five other siblings, tell of the family’s strong work ethic and values. Linda, a JD licensed to practice labor law, and Loretta, an MBA graduate with experience in financial investments, discuss in-turn their experiences with racism, ageism and sexism during their academic and professional pursuits as well as on the road to and within congress.
While the last few chapters appear to resemble a campaign speech, I did enjoy and appreciate the accomplishments made by each of these women in their personal and professional lives. With the media’s focus on the Senate and Executive branch of government, it was interesting to learn about how the House of Representatives works. It was a pleasure to read about these women’s achievements in their own right as well as how their family comes together to assist one another. The authors make many references to Hispanic culture and provide many witticisms for success.
After reading this book, you’ll get a sense of the importance of discipline and tenacity as well as the necessity to make your vote count in every election not just the one that picks your next president. For that, Dream in Color earns four Sable Seals.
