Chola  (English, Paperback, Rios Mi-Chelle L.)

Angelica is trapped in a triangle of old-world Mexican customs, barrio street codes, and the rules of mainstream America. Perverse circumstances and a love/hate relationship with her mother force Angelica to make choices that no 18-year-old should have to make. Blending everyday life with drama and unexpected tragedy in a masterful narrative, this is the story of young Mexican-American Angelica-shared from her jail cell as she awaits trial for murder.
