- Summary
- It is a rare story that touches us so deeply with its humor, sadness and powerful message that it transcends the walls of race, culture, and class that divide us. Abandoned by his migrant worker father at the tender age of two months, deserted by a wild, mixed-up mother at the age of ten years, Lopez grew up angry, alone, teased, and tormented in California's San Fernando Valley, raised by grandparents who viewed love as a bad word.
