Gwendolyn Zepeda is a novelist and author of children’s
books and short stories.

"Zepeda gives readers a smart and funny heroine that they will easily pull for..."
- Publishers Weekly

"Zepeda's charming story celebrates the satisfaction found in accomplishing a goal-no matter how big or small and the
trust new responsibility engenders."
- Kirkus Reviews

"Zepeda, who writes the popular blog gwenworld.com, presents
a debut about the everyday struggle to find one's way but adds unusual and alluring touches, namely the vibrant
Houston setting and the novel's emphasis on
Tex-Mex culture, art, and folklore."
- Booklist

"... uproariously funny essays and short stories."
- Bust Magazine

"... brutally candid, laugh-out-loud, feminist, barrio manifesto
that sometimes reads like suggestive science fiction cross-pollinated with Tess of the d'Urbervilles."
- San Antonio Current
