Here is what Lansing State Journal team members recommend for your reading pleasure this month, or anytime. Once I Was You: A Memoir of Love and Hate in America by Maria Hinojosa As an immigrant from Mexico as a child to her adult life as a journalist in New York City, Maria Hinojosa tries to find her footing while being a voice for Latinas and Latinos on an individual level and nationally. This memoir educates readers in big and small ways, through powerful storytelling and the author s vulnerability. I’m a sucker for books written by or about journalists. –
