Thomas delivers a memoir that allows unobstructed delving into the life of a dark Latino boy growing up in the barrio of Spanish Harlem, New York. Piri’s choices for survival launch him down a road of love, heartache, racism, drugs, thievery and finally Sing Sing prison where he comes to grips with himself and finds comfort in religion.
