Para aquellos ajenos a este ritual, la fiesta de quinceañera celebra a la niña que al cumplir estos dichosos quince años pasa a ser mujer. Es una mezcla de bat mitzvah con una pizca de baile de debutantes, repleto de momentos graciosísimos y recargado de toda la angustia adolescente que viene con esa edad intermedia. En esta antología original, quince de los más brillantes y graciosos escritores latinos, tanto mujeres como hombres, comparten sus memorias sobre esta celebración espectacular, conmovedora y por momentos absurda, y esa forma única de humillación familiar que nace con las mejores intenciones, el amor incondicional y la alegría contagiosa de los padres que finalmente dejan que su niñita se convierta en mujer.
