Nineteen-year-old Eddie is a Mexican American living in Fresno, California. A recent college dropout, Eddie spends his days trying to scrap together enough money to survive while avoiding the gangs and criminals who populate his neighborhood. Although Eddie has seen his father, two uncles, and his best friend all die violently, he has a hard time resisting the temptations of his environment, especially when his aunt begins inciting him to avenge the murder of her son. Eddie refuses her, but finds himself more confused than ever when he begins to suspect that someone he considers a good friend might be a mortal enemy. AUTHOR: Gary Soto, Robert Ramirez
