About
Pedro and Daniel are Mexican American brothers growing up in 1970s Ohio. Their
mom doesn't like that Pedro is a spitting image of their darker-skinned father, that
Daniel plays with dolls, that neither boy loves sports like the other kids in their
neighborhood. Life at home can be rough-but the boys have an unshakable bond
that will last their entire lives.
Pedro Daniel is a sweeping and deeply personal novel that spans from
childhood to teenage years to adulthood, all the while tracing the lives of two
brothers who are there for each other when no one else is. Together the brothers
manage an abusive home life, school, coming out, first loves, first jobs, and the
AIDS pandemic, in a coming-of-age story unlike any other.
