About this ebook
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST
A lyrical and authentic book that recounts the story of a border-town family in Brownsville, Texas in the 1980's, as each member of the family desperately tries to assimilate and escape life on the border to become "real" Americans, even at the expense of their shared family history. This is really un-mined territory in the memoir genre that gives in-depth insight into a previously unexplored corner of America.

I bought this book in 5th grade and has entertained me up till the beginning of 7th grade. Great book, probably the best book i will ever read. I also live in the valley and have personally witnessed many things Domingo has gone through. The most relatable book ever!
