"Transitions of a Nuyorican Cinderella
“Maria Aponte is a folklorist “en punto y en clave” with the national values of the Puerto Rican migration. In this book you will find the breath of characters that reside inside the wisdom of her ingenuity. She is a real-life Bronx national tale-teller based in Rican truth.” Tato Laviera Nuyorican Poet, Playwright and Activist
The Gift of Loss
“Told in five chapters, or five orchestral movements, or the five acts of a play, heavy subjects are treated with poise, dignity and a sense of serenity because in the end, Aponte, as a character, chooses both sides. When Aponte writes she captures the depth and nuisance of Puerto Rican life in all of its messy humanity. Her story is uniquely hers and at the same time transcends, gingerly and specifically, lives and iconography common to many Boricuas.” Robert Waddell "Journalist"
