{"product_id":"the-boys-from-little-mexico-steve-wilson-9780807001523","title":"The Boys from Little Mexico: A Season Chasing the American Dream","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor nineteen straight years, the all-Hispanic boys' soccer team from Oregon's Woodburn High has made the playoffs. As they prepare to make it twenty, one thing will become clear: Los Perros play the beautiful game with heart, pride, and their lives on the line. Their spirited drive gives a rare sense of hope and unity to a blue-collar farming community that has been transformed by waves of immigrants over recent decades, a town locals call \"Little Mexico.\" Watched over by a south Texas transplant--a surrogate father to half the squad--this band of brothers must learn to come together on the field and look after each other off it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e More than just riveting sports writing, \u003ci\u003eThe Boys from Little Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e is about the fight for the future of the next generation--and a hard, true look at boys dismissed as gang-bangers, told to \"go home\" by lily-white sideline crowds. The wins and losses they notch along the way spin a striking tale about what it takes to capture the American Dream. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080700152X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807001523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.91h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Steve Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990377693439,"sku":"9780807001523","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8942167d-bddc-4e76-961d-875cc34c0d3a.jpg?v=1683304328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-boys-from-little-mexico-steve-wilson-9780807001523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
