PEDRO & DANIEL is a sweeping and deeply personal novel about two brothers who are there for each other when no one else is.
Pedro and Daniel are Mexican American brothers growing up in 1970s Ohio. Their mother resents that Pedro is a spitting image of their darker-skinned father, that Daniel likes dolls, that neither boy plays sports.
Together, they experience joy and laughter, despite an abusive home life, coming out, first loves, first jobs, and the AIDS pandemic, in a coming-of-age story unlike any other.---from the publisher
