(2) 4-6 Soto's ten short stories introduce young Latinos and Latinas at turning points. Variety in tone and subject widens the potential audience and encourages selective, rather than continuous, reading. Several of the stories are open-ended, subtly indicating that pivotal moments in life may be just that--moments that go unrecognized at the time but indicate the future paths of the characters in question. Glos.
