Born a bouncing baby girl named Francisca to parents tangled in a doomed love affair, Frank grows up in both the poorest barrios and poshest hills of Southern California. A defiant loner, Frank leaves home at the age of eighteen for the big city, but instead is sucked back into helping his estranged and blind father navigate an untimely death. On his deathbed, Frank's father gives him a mysterious crumbling photograph of a woman with a stunning gaze: Nahui Olin, a fierce member of the early 20th-century Mexican avant-garde who once brought tragedy upon the Cruz family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePunctured to his core by Nahui, Frank takes her portrait and flees to New York City to start anew--this time for real. There he meets eccentric, gorgeous, and sharp-tongued Nathalie. The two fall in love, but after seven years of happy-go-lucky life together, in September 2001 the New York skyline tumbles, and Frank finds himself smack in the middle of his predestined fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Akashic Books","offers":[{"title":"Like Son | Felicia Luna Lemus | Paperback | 9781933354217 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks C 1759609","offer_id":49199697887384,"sku":"1759609","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61l8tMmMhXL.jpg?v=1780697737","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/like-son","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
