Jessica C. Parra is the author of Rubi Ramos's Recipe for Success. As a lawyer and daughter of Guatemalan and Cuban bakers, she never objects to an extra slice of cake. She's a Los Angeles native who loves to write about Latinas with big hair (and even bigger dreams), complicated families, cats living their best lives (all nine of them), and the healing magic of acceptance. When she isn't writing, she can be found sipping kombucha, cuddling her kitties, or co-piloting the Millennium Falcon.
