Summary: 5 Stars
"Bodega Dreams", By Ernesto Quinonez intertwines two storys; that of Chino, a young man in his early twentys that was born and raised in Spanish Harlem. Learning at an early age that if he wants to survive and make a name for himself he's going to have to fight for it. After he graduates from high school he enrolls in college and trys to make a better life for himself, his wife and unborn child. Money is very tight and Chino constantly struggles to keep the peace and some how balance his childhood sweetheart/new wife Blanca and his friend since third grade, Sapo. Sapo interduces Chino to Willy Bodega and Chino's whole life changes. The other story in this book is Willy Bodega's. Willy Bodega comes back to Spanish Harlem to re-build it and it's people. Willy Bodega has big dreams and the money to give to people to help those dreams become a reality. Willy Bodega hears about Chino and becomes interested in his potental, wanting to meet with Chino, He has Sapo who already works for him set it up.
This story opens your eyes to a completely diffrent way of life then we are use to, but that is also a way of life for some people. I really enjoyed this book and I encourage other people to read it.
