Soto, Gary (1997, 2006). Buried Onions. Orlando: Harcourt, Inc.
Summary: After dropping out of the community college, Eddie has a hard time making ends meet on his own. Though he tries hard to keep out of violence and crime that surrounds him in Fresno and to live honestly and earnestly , his aunt pressures him to avenge the murder of his cousin and he gets tangled in a mess that makes him look like a criminal.
Additional comments: This is a heart-breaking and suspenseful story about a young man with pure intentions and strong integrity who is trapped in poverty and where there are limited options available. Events show how extremely difficult it is to rise above hardships due to lack of legal job opportunities and discrimination.
