We Heard It When We Were Young tells the story of a young boy, first-generation Mexican American, who is torn between cultures: between immigrant parents trying to acclimate to midwestern life and a town that is, by turns, supportive and disturbingly antagonistic.

Most agree that West Liberty is a special place. The first majority Hispanic town in Iowa, it has been covered by media giants such as Reuters, Telemundo, NBC, and ESPN. But Chuy Renteria and his friends grew up in the space between these news stories, where a more complicated West Liberty awaits. We Heard It When We Were Young tells the story of a young boy, first-generation Mexican American, who is torn between cultures: between immigrant parents trying to acclimate to midwestern life and a town that is, by turns, supportive and disturbingly antagonistic. Renteria looks past the public celebrations of diversity to dive into the private tensions of a community reflecting the changing American landscape. There are culture clashes, breakdancing battles, fistfights, quinceañeras, vandalism, adventures on bicycles, and souped-up lowriders, all set to an early 2000s soundtrack. Renteria and his friends struggle to find their identities and reckon with intergenerational trauma and racism in a town trying to do the same. A humorous and poignant reflection on coming of age, We Heard It When We Were Young puts its finger on a particular cultural moment at the turn of the millennium.

"As a covert operative who penetrated the first Al Qaeda cell on American soil and who foiled other terrorist bombings, I salute Mr. Mitchell Gray who put his life on the line to fight in the Iraq War for the Freedom of our America. I understand the serious danger he exposed himself to when he used his pen as clever as his gun to document in this book the missing links to connect the dots for the American people. I respect and appreciate the sacrifices Mitchell Gray made when he penetrated some of the terrorist cells. He is an American patriot I admire." -Emad Salem, Author of Undercover, the Untold Story of Al Qaeda the FBI and CIA in America
