Raising Raul

adventures raising myself and my son

By Hinojosa, Maria

Publishers Summary:
"In the Mexico where Maria Hinojosa was born, being a traditional woman was defined by one thing - becoming a traditional mother. But there has never been anything traditional about this award-winning radio and television journalist. By the time she reached her thirties, Maria Hinojosa had received her degree from Barnard College, had been a staff reporter for National Public Radio, and had become the first urban affairs correspondent on CNN. She had it all - or thought she did. But with the birth of her first son, Raul, she began to discover the meaning of what really matters."--BOOK JACKET. "With humor, depth, and street smarts, Hinojosa takes us on a journey of family lessons and spiritual searching, of romance and intimacy, and of ambition and maternal love. In flash-backs and flash-forwards and filled with colorful stories and characters from her life, Raising Raul takes us on Hinojosa's motherhood adventure as she struggles not only to become the mother she wants to be but also to become the woman she wants to be."--BOOK JACKET.
