"In this memoir full of humor and heart, comedian, writer, and producer Cristela Alonzo tells personal stories of growing up as a first-generation Mexican American in Texas and following her dreams to pursue a career in comedy" -- From book jacket flap.

Alonzo shares her experiences and struggles of being a first-generation Mexican-American, her dreams of becoming a comedian, and how it feels to be a creator in a world that often minimizes people of color and women. Her stories range from the time she made her own tap shoes out of bottle caps to how she turned to stand-up comedy to grieve the heartbreaking loss of her mother. -- adapted from jacket
