Esta es la increíble y verdadera historia de una chica sumida en un mundo completamente inesperado. Es una historia de sueños, algunos de pesadilla, otros de amor y de fuga. Es un relato de una familia amorosa y problemática, y de la chica que creció y se convirtió en una estrella de televisión. Son las memorias de los primeros años de la actriz y escritora Sonia Manzano, ganadora del premio Emmy y quien realizara el papel de María en la aclamada serie de televisión Sesame StreetSet in the 1950s in the Bronx, this is the story of a girl with a dream.

Each day she is glued to the TV screen that blots out the painful realities of her existence and also illuminates the possibilities that lie ahead. But--click!--when the TV goes off, Sonia is taken back to real-life--the cramped, colorful world of her neighborhood and an alcoholic father.
