This memoir of growing up in El Paso in the 1940s and 1950s creates an entire city: the way a barrio awakens in the early morning sun, the thrill of a rare desert snow, the taste of fruit-flavored raspadas on summer afternoons, the money boys who beg from commuters passing back and forth to Juárez, and the mischief of children entertaining themselves in the streets.
