"Romance In the Barrio, loco! El Novio De María" is an assemblage of characters embedded in humorous stories rooted in the heart of everyday "barrio" life and culture. The author's father, Félix G. Figueroa, and his brother-in-law Edward García shared many of these stories with the author when he was a young boy. The narrative has been masterfully interwoven with real personal accounts; Mexican-American folklore, culture and tradition; and lots of "dichos." This book is the second in a series of three that tells the story of one "familia"-the Porfirio Parcelona family-comprised of a womanizing, beer drinking, always scheming father; an overbearing, extremely religious Catholic mother; fifteen mischievous, adventure seeking brothers and a hopelessly romantic, overly large older sister. After meeting a young man named Toro at the movie theatre, the older sister, María, dreams of getting married and having a family of her own. Meanwhile, her mother Tiburcia gets sick, has to be rushed to the hospital, gets into a major argument with her womanizing, beer-drinking husband that almost leads to divorce and makes a promesa to the Virgin Mary that if she is healed she will go to the Shrine of Our Lady of San Juan on her knees.
