When it happened, Miguel was sent to Juvi. The judge gave him a
year in a group home--said he had to write in a journal so some
counselor could try to figure out how he thinks. The judge had no
idea that he actually did Miguel a favor. Ever since it happened,
his mom can't even look at him in the face. "Any "home besides his
would be a better place to live.
But Miguel didn't bet on meeting Rondell or Mong or on any of what
happened after they broke out. He only thought about Mexico and
getting to the border to where he could start over. Forget his mom.
Forget his brother. Forget himself.
Life usually doesn' t work out how you think it will, though. And
most of the time, running away is the quickest path right back to
what you're running from.
From the streets of Stockton to the beaches of Venice, all the way
to the Mexican border, "We Were Here" follows a journey of
self-discovery by a boy who is trying to forgive himself in an
unforgiving world.
