In New Memoir ‘Ordinary Girls,’ Jaquira Díaz Searches For Home, an interview with Steve Inskeep, first heard on Morning Edition is a National Public Radio (NPR) interview created for radio and edited for the web. This interview elaborates on author Jaquaria Díaz’s life, including the hardships and traumatic experiences she endured in her childhood and eventually overcame. When asked about returning home to El Caserío after all the author has gone through, she mentioned that a local boy told her she did not belong. She agreed that she didn’t belong, and this signifies her acceptance of her newfound stability.  It was interesting to hear a selection of Ordinary Girls read aloud in the author’s voice. I have deemed this source reliable, as it passes the CRAAP test. The interview is from October 29, 2019, but my topic does not require recent information. NPR is considered reputable as it is a large nonprofit with fact checkers, and since this interview is with a primary source, the author,  this interview is credible.
