...He felt a pang remembering how his mother always seasoned the roasted roots with garlic to cover their bitter taste. Waves of sadness flooded over him and his eyes grew misty. He missed his family so much. Then just as quickly, the sight of the stranger, Jefe, jolted him out of the memories and into the present. The sorrow evaporated and anger rushed back in.
Strengthened by that surge of anger, Chico promised himself again to survive, no matter what. If he had to live at his uncle's ba-ak with a stranger he hated, he'd do it until he could find a way out. He'd use the hate to keep himself going...
