Sandra Cisneros, born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 20, 1954, was the only girl out of seven children in her family. Her childhood was not like an all-American childhood. She moved from house to house to house and never really had a stable home to say she grew up in. When she felt depressed or felt a certain way, she would start writing and reading. Reading set her free. She had a strong connection to Esperanza in her book The House On Mango Street. They both had a sense of instability and being lost. The novel has sold more than two million copies. The House on Mango Street and Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories both written by Sandra Cisneros has a series of vignettes. Cisneros now is currently living in San Antonio, Texas.
