Summary:

"This self-effacing novel tells the sad yet uplifting story of Niña Chinda, a poor woman, a brave Salvadoran who must get through lots of suffering before reaching the American Dream. She is the traditional Salvadoran saleswoman, an amazing entrepreneur, a human being earning her living by selling pork skin in an informal market in Usulután, a city in El Salvador. Experience the daily life of this Salvadoran saleswoman by reading Made and Unmade in El Salvador and learn about the life of people living in poverty in the country I was born, a country full of beauty besides its imperfections"--Publisher's description.
