The voice of sixteen-year-old Sammy Santos carries this story—as complex and multifaceted as the barrio in which it takes place—from shattered dreams to hard-won hope. Ramirez reads in a voice fueled by both rage and tenderness, weaving the street slang—both English and Chicano—and Sammy's inner musings into a portrait that is achingly real.
