Interview with “When the de la Cruz Family Danced” author, Donna Miscolta
Rarely does one find a book that’s story engulfs you so much that it becomes a part of you. Somehow Sweetwater High alum Donna Miscolta’s book, When the De La Cruz Family Danced, gives you that feeling and within the first fifty pages you begin to imagine yourself sitting on the benches at Kimball Park, or swatting the flies at your lolo’s house, or just remembering what the days were like when your brothers and sisters were only old enough to play in the front yard. Miscolta offers a snapshot of life for Filipinos settling into San Diego that sets the atmosphere around the fateful story of a young man’s journey intertwining with that of a family he comes to know after his mother’s passing.
