This book will give you some insight on what it is like to grow up in La Joya, Texas Mid all the current dangerous poetical and low socioeconomic status of a bulletproof boarder town. 2014-2015 Special thanks to La Joya ISD for continuing to encourage their students to express themselves through writing and art.
