Publisher Notes
The author describes his experiences growing up as a Mexican American in Fresno, California.
Media Reviews
A warm, human, forgiving (but never forgetting) account of growing up in the barrio, written in a prose that endears us to the writer--intimate, almost familial language designed to put us at our ease so that some unpleasant truths can get told, and once told believed."
Synopses
The author describes his experiences growing up as a Mexican American in Fresno, California.
First Line
We were terrible kids, I think.
