With THE RHYMES OF MY TIMES, Gabriela Vargas presents a concoction of love, pain, angst, racism, life changes, social justice, equality, and lessons learned, as seen through the eyes of a fifteen-year-old high school student in this trying twenty-first century. This candid and vociferous collection, generously illustrated by Krystal Rampersaud, represents Gabriela's life understandings as she boldly opens herself up to the reader without a shield to share her truths regarding the difficulties experienced by today's adolescents.
