Living Up The Street

Publisher Description
In a prose that is so beautiful it is poetry, we see the world of growing up and going somewhere through the dust and heat of Fresno's industrial side and beyond: It is a boy's coming of age in the barrio, parochial school, attending church, public summer school, and trying to fall out of love so he can join in a Little League baseball team.
His is a clarity that rings constantly through the warmth and wry reality of these sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, always human remembrances.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
These 21 pungent narrative recollections explore the vicissitudes of growing up in the barrio. Ages 12-up.
