About the Book Buried Onions
Buried Onions follows the life of Eddie, a 19-year-old Mexican-American living in Fresno, California. Eddie dreams of escaping the harsh realities of his neighborhood, but life keeps pulling him back. He dropped out of community college, works odd jobs, and is constantly haunted by the violence and poverty surrounding him.
Eddie's life takes a sharper turn when his cousin Jesús is stabbed to death. The murder becomes a catalyst for Eddie's internal conflict. Should he seek revenge or strive to break the cycle of violence? This dilemma is further complicated when Eddie's aunt pressures him to avenge Jesús' death.
The title Buried Onions refers to Eddie's metaphorical view of life's sorrows. He imagines a giant onion buried beneath Fresno, causing everyone in the city to cry through their struggles. This metaphor resonates throughout the story, symbolizing the hardships Eddie faces.

Meanwhile, this page is active so you can order books; it just isn't quite as informative or graphically appealing as the new page will be. Thanks for understanding! :-)
