Once a King, Always a King: The Unmaking of a Latin King

Having written about the street gang lifestyle and the circumstances that lead many young people to choose it in My Bloody Life, Sanchez here describes how hard it is to escape gang life; and the lasting damage of physical, mental, and sexual abuse. He is a former gang member writing under a pseudonym. A memoir rather than academic study, his account has no index or bibliography. Distributed in the US by Independent Publishers Group.
