When Hector Castillo is bullied by two neighbouring Russian boys, his father Juan insists on taking swift revenge. Juan's temper and his deeply felt prejudice against 'the comunistas' soon lead to a full-scale family feud.
Hector wants no part of this feud, and secretly does everything he can to make peace between the two families. But Hector must also make peace with his father...
This is a powerful, uplifting story about one boy's fight against prejudice, and one man's fight against his own past. (Publisher's blurb)
