From the publisher:

“Luis was born in a small city in Michoacán, Mexico. When Luis was four years old, his father lost his business and was forced to move to California for work, leaving his family behind. Devastated, Luis and his siblings struggled to support their mother and keep afloat. When his father asked them to join him in the United States three years later, Luis and his brother made the harrowing journey across the border by truck, separated from the rest of their family, who had to travel for weeks by foot. When the family reunited in Anaheim, Luis faced an entirely new struggle: adapting to a new city and new culture that did not welcome him.

With an engaging and accessible voice, Luis brings forward a timely first-person account of a young man finding strength in his identity and claiming space for himself to enact empowering change in his community.”
