Guadalupe Garcia McCall, author of
Summer of the Mariposas
Guadalupe Garcia McCall
Guadalupe Garcia McCall was born in on the border of Mexico. So she can cook authentic Mexican food like there's no tomorrow—her specialty being Mole.
She has five sisters which is hard growing up in a house full of beautiful women. She writes poetry which she find very therapuetic.
McCall has lots of men in her life—a husband, three sons, an indoor male dog, and an indoor male cat—the only other female in our home is an outdoor dog, which doesn't count. She states all was unintentional but it does allow her to be their little princess—which has its benefits.
 Summer of the Mariposas
From the publisher—"Remember how I told you that I’d acquired Guadalupe Garcia McCall’s Six Little Sisters? In case you’re waiting with bated breath, it will now and forevermore be called Summer of the Mariposas. It’s a gorgeous title, and I think it’s even better than Seis Hermanitas (which is Six Little Sisters in Spanish) because of the imagery of butterflies that is so prominent in the book. Just got a revision in, which I’m looking forward to reading. Just thought I’d tease you with that, and tell you that you’ll be able to read it yourself this fall."
"And while you’re waiting, go read Guadalupe’s debut novel in verse, Under the Mesquite, which just won the Pura Belpre author award and is being put on best-of lists left and right, and congratulate her! I didn’t edit that one, so send congratulatory thoughts to my colleague Emily for a job well done."
