One of the Must-Read Books of 2019 According to O: The Oprah Magazine * Time * Bustle * Electric Literature * Publishers Weekly * The Millions * The Week * Good Housekeeping “There is more life packed on each page of Ordinary Girls than some lives hold in a lifetime.” —Julia Alvarez In this searing memoir, Jaquira Díaz writes fiercely and eloquently of her challenging girlhood and triumphant coming of age. While growing up in housing projects in Puerto Rico and Miami Beach, Díaz found herself caught between extremes. As her family split apart and her mother battled schizophrenia, she was supported by the love of her friends. As she longed for a family and home, her life was upended by violence. As she celebrated her Puerto Rican culture, she couldn’t find support for her burgeoning sexual identity. From her own struggles with depression and sexual assault to Puerto Rico’s history of colonialism, every page of Ordinary Girls vibrates with music and lyricism. Díaz writes with raw and refreshing honesty, triumphantly mapping a way out of despair toward love and hope to become her version of the girl she always wanted to be. Reminiscent of Tara Westover’s Educated, Kiese Laymon’s Heavy, Mary Karr’s The Liars’ Club, and Terese Marie Mailhot’s Heart Berries, Jaquira Díaz’s memoir provides a vivid portrait of a life lived in (and beyond) the borders of Puerto Rico and its complicated history—and reads as electrically as a novel.

With Psalm 15 as an anchor point, the author asks and then answers the questions David posed: Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? What does it take for a man or woman of God to walk uprightly, to work righteousness, and speak the truth -- with the tongue as well as the heart? What does it take to be a perfect woman of God or man of God? Delving deeply into both the Old and New Testament, the author examines the lives of the patriarchs, the deeds and words of the apostles, the prophets, and the example given by Christ to give readers guidelines and a standard of measurement. Then he turns the magnifying glass of examination and the scales of judgment and measurement from the people and teachings of the past to the present -- to the church and the ministers and missionaries and everyday Christians living in today's sin-sickened world. Just how well is today's church and today's Christian living according to God's precepts and standards? Where is the church falling short and failing in the mission given by Christ? At times harsh and critical, and other times pleading, the author makes his case for changes in standards, in actions, in thoughts, to bring about the perfect woman or man of God who has the right and the privilege to abide in Heaven and dwell in the presence of God.
