Yes, Julia Alvarez did write a book called "How the García Girls Lost Their Accents." The novel follows the lives of four sisters who immigrate to the United States from the Dominican Republic and explores themes of identity, culture, and family.
Julius Caesar's two sister were both called Julia Sometimes they were called Julia major (Julia the elder) and Julia minor (Julia the younger). The reason for both girls being named Julia (and many others in the family as well) is that girls were always named after their father's "gens" or clan. As the Caesar were from the Julian clan, all the girls would be called Julia. Needless to say, nicknames were used.
Julia Alvarez moved to the United States in 1960 when she was ten years old as her family fled the political unrest in the Dominican Republic. She settled in New York City and has since become a renowned writer, known for works such as "How the García Girls Lost Their Accents" and "In the Time of the Butterflies."

"The Time of the Butterflies" is a book that was written by Julia Alvarez. Some of the symbols in the book include the anacahuita tree as a symbol for home, strength, and hope. Rain symbolizes a new beginning and butterflies symbolize the girls.
Most girls in the 1800's did not go to college but Julia did.
Julia Alvarez decided to write this book because she was a child growing up in this time in the Dominican Republic, and when she heard about the Mirabal sisters (this was a true story), she could not get them out of her mind. She kept asking herself, "What gave them that special courage?" (quote from the author's note), and that basically inspired her to write the story using mostly her imagination.
