LOVING THE BRONX - Inés Tejada

In Loving the Bronx, the final installment of the My Dominican New York City (For the Ages) trilogy, Inés Tejada delivers her most personal and reflective work to date-an honest account of resilience, reinvention, and the search for stability in the later chapters of life.

Set against the evolving landscape of the Bronx, this memoir moves between past and present, tracing the author's journey through retirement, illness, divorce, and the difficult process of starting over. With clarity and conviction, she writes about what it means to rebuild a life when certainty is gone, and how strength is often discovered in moments of vulnerability.

At the same time, Tejada offers a grounded portrait of the Bronx-its neighborhoods, its contrasts, and its people-seen through the eyes of someone who has lived, worked, and depended on the city for decades.

Direct, thoughtful, and deeply human, Loving the Bronx is a powerful conclusion to a trilogy shaped by migration, perseverance, and an enduring connection to New York.

For readers drawn to memoirs of lived experience, cultural identity, and personal transformation, this book offers a voice that is both steady and unforgettable.
