For Amazon Prime members,one of the free Kindle First selections for December is Halsey St by Naima Coster a Dominican American family in Brooklyn. Looks like a good choice.

Paperwhite - you can read outdoors in the hammock on a sunny day - wear sunscreen. The battery goes on forever.
Just wish the bezels were smaller so more page could be seen

I finished this book this morning, and gave it a 5* review on Goodreads.  Amazing first book, Ms Coster has a long career ahead of her.  It’s been a long time since a book affected me as this one did.  I was alternately the Brooklyn girl, Penelope, and I was her Dominican mother, Mirella. The character development was superb.

Highly recommend it.

I just finished it and found it brilliant for a first book. To DR1 readers it has many references to campo life, Santiago and Cabarete. There is even a Dick's Bakery reference. Her description of driving on Rte#5 shows she has obviously enjoyed the same sport we practice here!
