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.
