“It was that time of year again. Ito, the sharecropper, did not smile. It was natural. The peak of strawberry season was over and the last few days the workers, most of them braceros, were not picking as many boxes as they had during the months of June and July.”

Flipped
From the chapter “Diving Under”
“All I’ve ever wanted is for Juli Baker to leave me alone. For her to back off—you know, just give me some space.”
“The Jacket”
“My clothes have failed me. I remember the green coat that I wore in fifth and sixth grades when you either danced like a champ or pressed yourself against a greasy wall, bitter as a penny toward the happy couples.”
