Publisher's Synopsis
Anteojos, Life Through My Lenses captures the essence of perspective. It embraces tradition, culture, and family. This is the story of a Mexican-American female who falls captive to her great-grandmother's glasses. After putting them on at the age of five, she begins a quest to discover what it was she saw through those life lookers. They held a new perspective. She discusses her past and contemplates her future. Her memories, based on what she sees, serve as her guide to self-discovery. As she gets older, she realizes there is more to glasses than what meets the eye. They hold a message. It is fortune. It is about what has happened and what is going to happen. More importantly, it's about what is happening. The focus lies on four Mujeres/Women and their views, through their own lenses. We take a flight through the lives of these four women who have served as clear inspirations. A view is presented as to how glasses offered each of them, and the author, a new outlook on living. It is about visions. It is about life. Veronica B. Vasquez was raised and currently resides in El Mirage, AZ.

She is currently teaching Middle School Language Arts in El Mirage, Arizona and enjoys every minute of it.
