Making an effort to walk a straight line despite constant temptations and frustrations, Eddie searches for answers--and discovers that his closest friends may actually be his worst enemies.<br><i> Includes a reader's guide and a glossary of Spanish words and phrases.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Soto's descriptions are poetic, and he creates deep feelings of heat and despair.
