This collection is set in the fictional African American community of Rio Seco, loosely based on Riverside, California. Full of defiance and tenderness, these linked stories chronicle the happiness and tragedies that the town’s residents—like Nacho, the art student/janitor, or the boom box–carrying Shawan—encounter while struggling through life and self-definition.
