Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The morning of the party, MaryLú and Little Angel wake up and drink fancy American coffee. They talk about how MaryLú hates Paz and still loves her ex-husband. La Gloriosa prepares for the day, spending hours with her lotions and perfumes and make-up. César picks up his son Marco Antonio, a teenager who sings in a Norwegian death metal band. César is confused by his eccentricities but never shames or chastises his son. At the house, Minnie asks Little Angel to get a birthday cake for Big Angel. Little Angel spends time with Big Angel in his bed. Big Angel asks Little Angel to give his gratitude journals to Lalo and Minnie when he dies. César and Little Angel go to Target to order two cakes, one chocolate and one vanilla. On the way, César shares a memory from his childhood, when Don Segundo abandoned them and they ate fried dandelions to avoid starvation. César wonders how a father could treat a child like that. Back at the house, the party preparations are in full swing.
