Having gone to school and worked in and near the community as an educator in public schools and universities for over 30 years, Dr. Graze became endeared to the community, its people, youth, culture, and spirituality.Dr. Graze wrote this novel for the youth and young adults in his neighborhood and all youth and teens in similar situations throughout the country who need to or have been able to overcome the many obstacles that exist in the barrio. He always thought of the students, teachers, and classrooms that could use these novels in a positive way in the schools and districts similar to those in his community. Dr. Graze endured in his own personal story, and so can you."Sigue luchando por el bien. El futuro es brillante!"
