LETTY'S POV
I had just moved back from Puerto Rico, due to my parents history with the law and Puerto Rico's widely spreading violence, my dad packed us up and moved us to California to stay with his mother. I was never a big fan of California, I remember living there until I was 4 then moving finally moving to were I would wished to have called home permanently. The last time I was here we lived in a crappy 2 bedroom apartment in the ghettos filled with nothing but druggies and alcoholics or as I like to call them, my mothers people. My mother, Maria, was Dominican and after four kids, numerous run-ins with the laws and several kisses of death she finally took my father's advice and walked away from the drugs and alcohol or at least that's what we thought. My father, Pedro, was born and raised in Puerto Rico. He was the center of it all, gangs drugs, cars, I guess that's where I found my fascination with cars. I wasn't your typical child, since my mother was always "unreliable" and my father mostly resided in prison, I had to step up and take care of my 3 siblings. My name is Leticia "Letty" Ortiz im 9, my brother Rico- 7, my sister Ana-6, and my other sister Selena-4 (proudly named after the famous yet sadly deceased tejano singer, Selena Quintanilla-Perez). We are finally at mi abuela's casa, great let the torture begin.
