Luis Rodriguez is an author, poet, and activist who has written multiple books throughout his career. His latest work, The Concrete River, tells the story of a young man’s journey in Southern California as he navigates his way between two cultures – that of his Mexican-American family and the street life he falls into. Anyway, that’s my favorite book though. Regards, Marga | Recommended: https://www.cupofgrow.com/
