Comadres…the term encompassses some of the most complex and important relationships that exist between women. Comadres are best friends, confidants, coworkers, advisors, neighbors, and godmothers to one’s children. Comadres are the women they know they can count on, lean on, and ask for advice or for help when needed.
---Nora de Hoyos Comstock, President & CEO, Las Comadres Para Las Americas
I have been a member of Las Comadres Para Las Americas for almost eight years. I am now one of the New York City Chapter’s Moderators and the group’s Book Club Coordinator. I find this organization to be amazing, and not just because of the networking, but because of the friendships forged – fierce friendships.
We have sisters who attend the monthly Comadrazos together, mothers and daughters, best friends, colleagues, total strangers. We are nurses, teachers, secretaries, meeting planners, authors, lawyers, artists, chefs, executives, students, entrepreneurs, but at the end of each meeting, we are all sisters, all friends, all Comadres.
Now, some of our Comadres have put their feelings about these types of relationships among women on paper. COUNT ON ME is a great collection of essays by some of today's top Latina authors – Esmeralda Santiago, Sofia Quintero, Reyna Grande, Carolina De Robertis, Stephanie Elizondo Griest, Lorraine Lopez, Fabiola Santiago, Teresa Rodriguez, Michelle Herrera Mulligan, Daisy Martinez, Dr. Ana Nogales and compadre Luis Alberto Urrea.
Whether you read them in order or read your favorite authors first won’t matter. All the stories are powerful. All the stories are about “camaraderie, generosity and faith” to paraphrase Esmeralda Santiago. A wonderful collection and a great holiday gift. Hint. Hint.
