Description
Luis J. Rodriguez's memoir tells the story of his life in a Chicano gang and his struggle to escape its grip. By age twelve, he was already a veteran of East Los Angeles gang warfare, witnessing violence and desperation firsthand. As he recounts his experiences, Rodriguez reveals the motivations behind gang life and the devastating consequences that follow. He shares his own journey towards freedom through education and writing, but also faces a new challenge when his young son joins a gang. This powerful memoir is both heartbreakingly sad and ultimately uplifting, offering a hard-earned lesson for those who come after him.
