“But they’re the labels that slot people into corners. They’re the words that box her in and make her crazy.

With that frustration is a give-and-take. Some of those same words have propelled her success as a best-selling author, torchbearer for publishing’s chica-lit genre and recipient of several awards touting her influence on Hispanic culture.

Yet she wants people to know she’s more than just a successful Latina author. “*
