Here's a story about a family that comes from Tijuana and settles into the 'hood, hoping for the American Dream.. . . I'm not saying it's our story. I'm not saying it isn't. It might be yours. "How do you tell a story that cannot be told?" writes Luis Alberto Urrea in this potent memoir of a childhood divided. Born in Tijuana to a Mexican father and an Anglo mother from Staten Island, Urrea moved to San Diego when he was three. His childhood was a mix of opposites, a clash of cultures and languages. In prose that seethes with energy and crackles with dark humor, Urrea tells a story that is both troubling and wildly entertaining. Urrea endured violence and fear in the black and Mexican barrio of his youth. But the true battlefield was inside his home, where his parents waged daily war over their son's ethnicity. "You are not a Mexican " his mother once screamed at him. "Why can't you be called Louis instead of Luis?" He suffers disease and abuse and he learns brutal lessons about machismo. But there are gentler moments as well: a simple interlude with his father, sitting on the back of a bakery truck; witnessing the ultimate gesture of tenderness between the godparents who taught him the magical power of love. "I am nobody's son. I am everybody's brother," writes Urrea. His story is unique, but it is not unlike thousands of other stories being played out across the United States, stories of other Americans who have waged war--both in the political arena and in their own homes--to claim their own personal and cultural identity. It is a story of what it means to belong to a nation that is sometimes painfully multicultural, where even the language both separates and unites us. Brutally honest and deeply moving, Nobody's Son is a testament to the borders that divide us all.

Not left stranded anymore!
Color: Vivid Orange
I bought two of these tire repair kits to put one in each vehicle. I also bought two new jacks for each vehicle. Generally them jacks that come with your vehicle aren’t no good anyways. I had a flat tire way out in the country and I couldn’t get my tire off, with that cheap wrench. I couldn’t get the car jacked up anyways. left me stranded. Not anymore I got two new four-way lug wrenches two new jacks and a tire, patch kit, and two of them little air compressors that you hook up to your cigarette lighter..

Amazon sell a fine selection of replacement fiberized rubber fiber plugs & cement. Read the reviews.
Color: Vivid Orange
This is the only kit you will ever need at roadside to plug a tire & be on your way.
This kit has it all. I'm a retired long haul trucker. This is my preferred plug kit. I have
stored one of these in all of my trucks & my wife's SUV. You could spend so much
more for other plug kits. But this one works. The price reflects the quality of both
the tools & all the other essentials you will ever need. I recommend you buy this one.
The money you save can be used elsewhere.
Note: Amazon sell a fine selection of replacement fiberized rubber plugs & rubber
cement. This is where you don't want to skimp on cheap-O plugs elsewhere.
These two items are the most important items in the entire system. Be prepared!
Always read the reviews & know the sellers reputation before you purchase things.
