Looking for an escape from childhood abuse, Reymundo Sanchez turned away from school and baseball to drugs, alcohol, and then sex, and was left to fend for himself before the age of 14. The Latin Kings, one of the largest and most notorious street gangs in America, became his refuge and his world, but its violence cost him friends, freedom, self-respect, and nearly his life. This is a raw and powerful odyssey through the ranks of the new mafia, where the only people more dangerous than rival gangs are members of your own gang, who in one breath will say they'll die for you and in the next will order your assassination. Buscando un escape del abuso juvenil que sufr�a, Reymundo Sanchez rechaz� al colegio y al deporte y se adentr� en un mundo de drogas, alcohol y sexo--todo antes de los 14 a�os. Los Latin Kings, una de las maras mas grandes y m�s notorias de los Estados Unidos, se volvi� su familia y su mundo, pero la violencia de esa familia le cost� sus amigos, su libertad, el respeto a s� mismo y casi su vida. Esta es una odisea desgarrante a trav�z de la nueva mafia, donde las �nicas personas m�s peligrosas que las maras enemigas son las de la misma mara, que en un instante juran que morir�n por sus miembros y segundos despu�s ordenan su asesinato.
