"Moving . . . Disturbing"
-N.Y. Times
You have just come to New York City looking for a home, a job, and (yes, Miguel would soon admit this to himself) love.
But in El Barrio, the heart of this city, you find only corruption: prostitutes for neighbors, hoodlums for the children to play with. In El Barrio you live with fear by day and violence by night.
This is the background for the book that shocked New Yorkers, and readers across the nation, when it became the fiction "sleeper" of the year. This is story behind New York City's explosive headlines.
"MR. JOHNSTON IS TO BE CONGRATULATED"
-San Francisco Chronicle
