Pink Elephants and Chocolate Éclairs: Memoir of a Border Town Chica (girl) paints a colorful portrayal of a young girl experiencing the vibrant culture surrounding her, nourished by the loving relationships of family and extended family. Patricia Alarcón Missler was born in the sleepy south Texas border town of Brownsville. She is a first-generation Mexican-American. Rich and flavorful interconnected stories begin with the author as a six-year old picking out a special pastry and follow her as a young woman picking out a special boyfriend, along with the camaraderie and adventures shared with her sister Nene. There were summers spent across the border at Tía Lolis S. A trip to the racetrack with Papi. Bandidos on the road. Two sisters on their own in Mexico City. Standing atop the Teotihuacán Pyramids. Fortune-telling gypsies in a cave bar. Don t look back, we re being followed The college daze in Austin and more. Readers from diverse backgrounds will relate to these poignant stories, which transcend cultures. Inspiring, humorous, and insightful, while at times intimately personal, Pink Elephants and Chocolate Éclairs: Memoir of a Border Town Chica (girl) breaks from the stereotype of the Mexican-American experience. KIRKUS REVIEW: BOOK REVIEWIn her memoir debut, Missler takes readers on a leisurely stroll through her life as a first-generation Mexican-American. Missler relays the most important moments of her life with grace, jumping from one year to the next, then back again, but always with the same easy, self-aware presence. Her material everything from her first crush to a series of events that left her hitching a ride in the darkness of the giant, deserted King Ranch isn t much more Earth-shaking than the events that shape any young person s life. When things get tense, she s more prone to understatement than dramatics, as shown by her assessment of the time when bandits tried to force her car off the road during a family road.
