Descripción ARC. Condición: New. No Jacket. First Edition, First Printing. Signed by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Oscar Hijuelos on title page in black fountain ink. He didn't say goodbye. He didn't leave a phone number. And he didn't plan on coming back--ever. In Wisconsin, Rico could blend in. His light hair and lighter skin wouldn't make him the 'dark dude' or the punching bag for the whole neighborhood. The Midwest is the land of milk and honey, but for Rico Fuentes it's really a last resort. Trading Harlem for Wisconsin, though, means giving up a big part of his identity. And when Rico no longer has to prove that he's Latino, he almost stops being one. Except he can never have an ordinary white kid's life, becuse there are some things that can't be left behind, that can't be cut loose or forgotten. These are the things that will be with you forever.These are the things that follow you a thousand miles away. "This is the book I wish I'd read when I was a teenager," says Hijuelos, bringing to life a haunting choice and an unforgettable journey about identity, misidentity, and all that we take with us when we run away. Ages 12 up; grades 7 up. New, collectible ARC in pictorial wraps. L49. Signed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: 11955
