I devoured these stories in a day and they were delicious. They take place in agricultural California in the 70s and revolve around migrant workers and their families. The perspectives of the children and their versions of normalcy are both innocent and jaded. Jaime Cortez describes hardship, violence, and bullying, but more memorable is the aspect of community care and a sense of belonging to one another.
