1. 1. My Bloody Life

   The Making of a Latin King

   

   A raw, first-person memoir that traces a young immigrant’s descent into gang life as he seeks belonging amid poverty, family upheaval, and neighborhood violence; he describes initiation into the Latin Kings, brutal street fights, crimes and drug dealing, repeated arrests and time behind bars, and the personal losses and betrayals that mark his turning points, ultimately reflecting on how the gang shaped his identity and the difficult path toward leaving that world.
