A trip to the racetrack with Papi. Bandidos on the road. Two sisters on their own in Mexico City. Dont look back, were being followed... Standing atop the Teotihuacán Pyramids. Fortunetellers in a cave bar. The college daze in Austin and more...n nReaders from diverse backgrounds will relate to these poignant stories, which transcend cultures and reach deep into the core of us all.
