520 Bolivia, 1999. Francisco's life consists of school, soccer,
and trying to find space for himself in his family's
cramped yet boisterous home. But when his father is
arrested on false charges and sent to prison by a corrupt
system that targets the uneducated, the poor, and the
indigenous majority, all hope is lost. Francisco and his
sister are left with no choice: They must move into the
prison with their father. There, they find a world unlike
anything they've ever known, where everything - a door, a
mattress, protection from other inmates - has its price.
Prison life is dirty, dire, dehumanizing. With their lives,
Francisco faces an impossible decision. Should he break up
the family and take his sister to their grandparents in
the Andean highlands, fleeing the city and the future that
was just within his grasp, or keep them together in the
increasingly dangerous prison? Pulled between two equally
undesirable options, Francisco must confront everything he
once believed about the world around him and his place
within it. In this heart-wrenching and timely novel
inspired by real events, Melanie Crowder sheds light on a
little-known era of modern South American history - where
injustice still darkens minds and hearts alike - and
proves that hope can be found, even in the most desperate
places. -- from dust jacket.
