Blanca De La Rosa was born in the Dominican Republic. She grew up in the Projects of the upper west side of Manhattan in New York, during the time before the Hispanic population developed the supportive Latino community which exists today. Although she struggled without support in her cultural and linguistic transition, De La Rosa was able to graduate from Pace University with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business Management and to establish a successful 34-year career rising through the ranks of Mobil/ExxonMobil Oil Corporation.
During her career, she held numerous positions both domestic and international in nature with increasing responsibility. These assignments took her around the United States, Europe, Central / South America, and Nigeria.
De La Rosa retired from ExxonMobil after 34 years of service. As a Business Development Manager and President of the company’s Employee Resource Group she often represented her company as lead presenter at the Regional and National Scholarship Awards hosted by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. In addition, she represented her company as host, keynote speaker, and panelist of various events with organizations supported by the company's charity foundation.
After all her time in the industry, she says her most rewarding role was serving as mentor to the young employees in her company – guiding them through the corporate maze.

I like to take my time reading a book because ones I’m done reading it I feel an emptiness and find it difficult to find another good book to read. But that’s not going to happen with this book. I’m going to have to finish this book this week.

I enjoyed this book so much! It was so interesting to learn Ms. de la Rosa’s family history and I loved how she wove the history of the countries of her heritage into the stories. I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down.

Congratulations on this book Blanca! With the very little free time I have (since I work full-time and have three kids, 4 and under) I have been reading this book. I am enjoying it and it is hard to put down. You really make me envision the lives of the characters with your writing. Congratulations again!
