Angels with Angles is the true story of two nuns who started an inner-city daycare in 1969 against the wishes of the Catholic Church. Then Sister Berta Sailer and Sister Corita Bussanmas proceeded to break rules and sometimes laws to grow Operation Breakthrough into one of the largest and most respected of its kind in the country. These two colorful crusaders fearlessly and sometimes foolishly, took on a bishop, the Catholic diocese, a few politicians, landlords, and even the Internal Revenue Service to sustain their mission to keep Operation Breakthrough. To aid in their fight, they enlisted a memorable cast of draft dodgers, hippies, Black Panthers, activists, and socialites. Operation Breakthrough has now grown into an $8 million early learning center that serves about 400 children and their families every day. Angels with Angles reveals how these sisters of the hood have given thousands of children born into crushing poverty the chance for brighter tomorrows.

In this "raucous, moving, and necessary" story by a Pulitzer Prize finalist (San Francisco Chronicle), the De La Cruzes, a family on the Mexican-American border, celebrate two of their most beloved relatives during a joyous and bittersweet weekend. "All we do, mija, is love. Love is the answer. Nothing stops it. Not borders. Not death." In his final days, beloved and ailing patriarch Miguel Angel de La Cruz, affectionately called Big Angel, has summoned his entire clan for one last legendary birthday party. But as the party approaches, his mother, nearly one hundred, dies, transforming the weekend into a farewell doubleheader. Among the guests is Big Angel's half brother, known as Little Angel, who must reckon with the truth that although he shares a father with his siblings, he has not, as a half gringo, shared a life. Across two bittersweet days in their San Diego neighborhood, the revelers mingle among the palm trees and cacti, celebrating the lives of Big Angel and his mother, and recounting the many inspiring tales that have passed into family lore, the acts both ordinary and heroic that brought these citizens to a fraught and sublime country and allowed them to flourish in the land they have come to call home. Teeming with brilliance and humor, authentic at every turn, The House of Broken Angels is Luis Alberto Urrea at his best, and cements his reputation as a storyteller of the first rank. "Epic . . .
