Gloria Estefan: Mi Tierra
built 240 days ago
Gloria was 10 years old. Within a year, her father was bedridden. From age 11 to 16, while her mother taught school to supplement Jose Fajardo's inadequate pension and went to night school, Gloria would come home in time to relieve the day nurse, doing housework and tending to her father while baby-sitting her sister, Becky, six years younger. As her father grew more immobilized, Gloria had to feed and bathe him, discreetly mindful of the shame he felt over his burdensome dependency. Gloria found solace in her bedroom playing her guitar, and virtually never let her feelings show. ''She's iron, iron on the outside,'' Becky later told a biographer.
