Julie How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents"How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" By Julia Alvarez

Julia Alvarez was born in 1950 in New York City and raised in the Dominican Republic. When she came back to the U.S., she did not understand the English language, and had to pay close attention to each word. Doing so is great training for an inspired author. She always wanted to be an author, she loved storytelling. Alvarez went into teaching, mainly creative writing. In 1991 she published her first novel, "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents".
