Los Vryosos by Adan Hernandez Pdf

Publisher description. A story about struggle and its fallout The struggle unfolds among the forgotten, invisible people living en las calles frias of a San Antonio varrio. There we find lost youth, hopeless and filled with self-hatred, who in just one generation have forgotten the compassion and wisdom of their elders, a wisdom grounded in grace, patience, resourcefulness, brutal hard work, and heroic courage in the face of doom. Now the jovenes fill the jail cells and cemeteries, and their roving gangas of brutal thugs bring terror and misery down on the hard working gente. Yet from this tempest grows a love story, a story of yearning for hope and meaning, a love of a lifetime caught in the storm of the cruel streets, calles mojades with la sangre de la Raza. It's the story of Luna and Nazul, who begin to grasp the power to retrieve what has been lost. How they change the consciousness of their generation, loosen the grip of terror, and uphold the lessons and honor of their elders will forever change the way you think about the forgotten people living in the shadows of the American Dream.

House with Two Doors by Ricardo Pimentel Pdf

In 1967 San Bernardino, the Rivera family is on the verge of upheaval. Fidel, the family patriarch, is discovering that his normally docile wife, Soledad, is no longer content to share him with his mistress. Soledad, fed up with double standards, is determined to stand up for her fights and insists on a change. Meanwhile, their eldest son, Bert, is on his way to fight in Vietnam, leaving behind his pregnant wife; and their precocious younger son, Gaby, is being enticed into the glamorous and violent world of gangs. When Soledad falls in love with the sergeant who has recruited Bert, she exacts from him a promise that will permanently change the way the Rivera family think and feel about each other.
