"It's April, 1969, and fourteen-year-old Yolanda Sahagun can hardly wait to see her favorite brother, Chuy, newly returned from Vietnam. But when he arrives at the Welcome Home party the family has prepared in his honor it's clear that the war has changed him. The transformation of Chuy is only one of the challenges that Yolanda and the rest of her family face. This coming-of-age novel is an account of a summer that is still remembered as a crossroads in American life.
Yolanda and her brothers and sisters learn how to be men and women and how to be Americans as well as Mexican Americans."--BOOK JACKET.
