A series of related stories mostly featuring a young African/Latino American in Houston as he decides that he is gay and deals with his family and friends. This book packs an emotional punch. The family is very working class and struggling as the father/husband disappears and the family restaurant is failing. The three siblings are adrift and changing as is the neighborhood. These stories give us a glimpse of others in the area but the center is the restaurant. Hurricane Harvey packs a wallop but the people just keep going. Washington is an interesting new voice.
