Whether hilariously capturing the voice of a philosophizing limo driver whose dream is to make the most of his rap-metal garage band in \"My Ride, My Revolution,\" or the monologue-styled rant of a tes-ti-fy-ing! tent revivalist named Ysela in \"Oiga,\" Rodriguez squeezes humor from the lives of people who are not ready to sacrifice their dreams due to circumstance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these stories, Luis J. Rodriguez gives eloquent voice to the neighborhood where he spent many years as a resident, a father, an organizer, and, finally, a writer: a neighborhood that offers more to the world than its appearance allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049235169520,"sku":"9780060936860","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780060936860_p0.jpg?v=1763620002","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780060936860","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
