Una reina como tú (Atria Espanol)

Rate this book
From the cohost of Univision’s Despierta America (the Spanish Good Morning America) and the 2015 winner of the most watched beauty pageant in the United States comes an inspiring and fascinating memoir about achieving the American dream.

Francisca Lachapel is not your traditional beauty queen. Rising from humble beginnings in the Dominican Republic, she struggled to make ends meet as a newly arrived immigrant in New York City. When she heard about the auditions for the Nuestra Belleza Latina pageant, she had no idea that her life was about to change forever.

Quickly winning the audience over with her humor and down-to-earth charm, she earned the title of Nuestra Belleza Latina 2015 and was named one of People en Español’s 50 Most Beautiful People. Francisca subsequently became one of the cohosts of the #1 morning show in the United States, Despierta América. In 2016, Francisca was finally able to continue pursuing her dream of acting when she became one of the recent additions to the cast of Despertar Contigo, one of Univision’s most popular telenovelas.

In this memoir, Francisca candidly shares her experience growing up in the Dominican Republic, the difficult and painful decision to leave home and pursue her dreams, and what led her to becoming one of the most beloved Latina celebrities on Univision today, offering inspiration to all who long to follow their dreams.

Cuando quieres ponerte en papel de víctima pero esta historia te demuestra que solo estás perdiendo tu tiempo

La verdad es que la historia de francisca es muy inspiradora, es una chica que pasó de todo aquí en NY, me sorprendió muchísimo todo lo que vivió en un país sola sin familiares y lograr todo eso? Se necesitas de mucha voluntad y deseos para salir adelante, gracias a dios y no se ha dejado llevar de los malos comentarios porque sino nos estuviéramos perdiendo de este gran talento. Te felicito Francisca

Cuando Francisca ganó me dije "voy a escribir un libro sobre su vida", y mira, el libro esta aqui! Esta mujer piensa en todo. El libro es un bonito recuento desde Azua hasta donde esta hoy en dia. Yo realmente quería mas chisme... o mejor dicho, mas detalles sobre la competencia y los artista que conoce, pero ya sabemos que ella no es así. Además, como ella misma dice en el libro, no puede decir nada porque no se lo permite la cadena para la que trabaja.

Veo a Francisca escribiendo mas libros sobre ayuda personal. Este libro, a pesar de ser una autobiografia, también te da buenos consejos para que no te rindas. No, no todas vamos a terminar siendo reinas de bellezas, pero si podemos terminar siendo logrando nuestros sueños. Como dice Francisca en el libro, lo importante es ser felíz haciendo lo que sea que haces.

Es un libro maravilloso, una historia inspiradora y de superación. Francisca nos cuenta su historia de cómo llegó a USA sin tener nada ni a nadie, pero cómo pudo materializar sus sueños con esfuerzo, dedicación y persistencia. Lo que me gusto es que no sólo se enfoco en el reinado de belleza que participo, sino todo lo que hubo detrás y anteriormente en su vida. Lo amé y lo recomiendo para aquellas personas que han perdido su Norte y viven en un país extranjero.

The first book that Francisca Lachapel published "Una Reina como tu" is a very inspiring book of hers. This book is very emotional of her true based story of her life. She explains in detail of her life from the beginning from her parent’s relationship and from her birth and her life throughout. This book can help others that have gone somewhat similar as her past in her life she suffered a lot in her hometown in Dominican Republic she thought she did not had any future and at one point she was lost and did not know what she wanted to do. As everyone who was not fortune to live in the Unites States she migrates the United States as an immigrant to New York, not knowing what to do not speaking the language English and not having where to go to. This can be a great inspiring book to those who comes from a different country to the United states to find a better life and to accomplished their dreams and goals. Francisca Lachapel never imagine that one day she would win the contest of "Nuestra Belleza Latina" in 2015 and currently she is working in a TV show called "Despierta America". This book teaches the audience that the dreams and accomplishments never have an end to it. Fighting for them and making it possible to make it work.
