"A moving and tender story collection . . . Munoz writes elegantly and sympathetically . . . [his stories] have a softly glowing, melancholy beauty." --The New York Times Book Review
Manuel Munoz's dazzling collection is set in a Mexican-American neighborhood in central California--a place where misunderstandings and secrets shape people's lives. From a set of triplets with three distinct fates to a father who places his hope--and life savings--in the hands of a faith healer, the characters in these stories cross paths in unexpected ways. As they do, they reveal a community that is both embracing and unforgiving, and they discover a truth about the nature of home: you always live with its history. Munoz is an explosive new talent who joins the ranks of such acclaimed authors as Junot Diaz and Daniel Alarcon.
