NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST Lyrical and gritty, this authentic coming-of-age story about a border-town family in Brownsville, Texas, insightfully illuminates a little-understood corner of America. Domingo Martinez lays bare his interior and exterior worlds as he struggles to make sense of the violent and the ugly, along with the beautiful and the loving, in a Texas border town in the 1980s. Partly a reflection on the culture of machismo and partly an exploration of the author's boyhood spent in his sister's hand-me-down clothes, this book delves into the enduring, complex bond between Martinez and his deeply flawed but fiercely protective older brother, Daniel. It features a cast of memorable characters, including his gun-hoarding former farmhand, Gramma, and "the Mimis"-- two of his older sisters who for a short, glorious time manage to transform themselves from poor Latina adolescents into upper-class white girls. Martinez provides a glimpse into a society where children are traded like commerce, physical altercations routinely solve problems, drugs are rampant, sex is often crude, and people depend on the family witch doctor for advice. Charming, painful, and enlightening, this book examines the traumas and pleasures of growing up in South Texas and the often terrible consequences when different cultures collide on the banks of a dying river.Binding Type: Paperback

Easy and convenient way to block off space!
Color: Brown, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Brown, Size: 4 Panel
Turned part of my basement into a dressing room. Ordered several of these and they worked out perfectly. I was able to separate the “guest room” area as well as our gym! Kept my space neat and private. And no assembly!

Great visual barrier for home office
Color: Brown, Size: 4 Panel
This is going to work perfectly for me to create a visual barrier in my home office. No assembly required. Literally took it out of the box and stood it up on carpet. No concern that it will randomly fall over. Would buy again.

Good product. Wrong color!!
Color: Brown, Size: 6 Panel
The product is great but it's not as advertised. It's supposed to have bamboo-colored panels. The color of light bamboo. It has dark panels. Mahogany colored panels. Way too dark!!! Looks nothing like the picture on the website. Made a dark space even darker.

Not worth it!
Size: 6FT*6FT, Color: Black
These are the terrible. They keep falling down. The bottom part doesn't stay tight so it keeps turning making it in possible to stay standing. Its the absolute worst!
