Summary

A los doce, el autor era veterano de la guerra entre pandillas del este de Los Ángeles. Atraído por una cultura aparentemente insuperable, fue testigo de un sinfín de balaceras, golpizas y arrestos y, más tarde, presenció como las drogas, los asesinatos, los suicidios y una delincuencia callejera cobraban la vida de amigos y familiares. Encontró la manera de dejar atrás la vida del barrio a través de la educación y el poder de las palabras. Una vez alcanzado el éxito como poeta; nuestro autor llega a pensar que las calles ya no lo perseguirían, pero entonces su hijo ingresó en una pandilla. Luchó por su hijo mediante el relato de su historia (este libro); crónica que se adentra en las motivaciones de la vida de pandillas y nos advierte de la muerte y la destrucción que, tarde o temprano, se lleva la vida de sus participantes.
