Gringolandia by Lyn Miller-Lachmann

Daniel Aguilar's papá, Marcelo used to play soccer, dance the cueca, and drive his kids to school in a beat-up taxicab--all the while publishing an underground newspaper that exposed Chile's military regime. After Marcelo's arrest in 1980, Daniel's family fled to Wisconsin. Six years later, Daniel has a new life far from politics. But when his father is released and rejoins the family, Daniel sees what prison and torture in a brutal police state have done to his father. Daniel dreams of a real father-son relationship, but he may have to give up everything to save his papá's life. Featuring music by Piero, "Que Se Vayan Ellos" lyrics by José, Publisher: Piero José Editores (Warner/Chapell Music)
