Danny's tall and skinny. Even though he’s not built, his
arms are long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce any
college scout would sign him on the spot. Ninety-five mile
an hour fastball, but the boy’s not even on a team. Every
time he gets up on the mound he loses it. But at his private school, they don’t expect much else
from him. Danny’ s brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up
in San Diego that close to the border means everyone else
knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth.
Before they find out he can’t speak Spanish, and before they
realize his mom has blond hair and blue eyes, they’ve got
him pegged. But it works the other way too. And Danny’s
convinced it’s his whiteness that sent his father back to
Mexico. That’s why he’s spending the summer with his dad’s
family. Only, to find himself, he may just have to face the
demons he refuses to see--the demons that are right in front
of his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw
coming. Set in the alleys and on the ball fields of San Diego
County, Mexican Whiteboy is a story of friendship,
acceptance, and the struggle to find your identity in a
world of definitions.
