Synopsis

Pedro and Daniel are Mexican American brothers growing up in 1970s Ohio. Their mom doesn’t like that Pedro is a spitting image of their darker-skinned father, that Daniel plays with dolls, that neither boy loves sports like the other kids in their neighborhood. Life at home can be rough—but the boys have an unshakable bond that will last their entire lives.

Pedro & Daniel is a sweeping and deeply personal novel that spans from childhood to teenage years to adulthood, all the while tracing the lives of two brothers who are there for each other when no one else is. Together the brothers manage an abusive home life, school, coming out, first loves, first jobs, and the AIDS pandemic, in a coming-of-age story unlike any other.

Pedro & Daniel feels like a front row seat into the most personal and life changing moments of the main characters. As Mexican-born raised in the USA, I can say how authentic and truthful this story is to the experiences many of us have. Federico Erebia does not only guide us through the life of two......more

Goodreads review by Steena on October 11, 2023

I loved reading this powerful story about two brothers, Pedro and Daniel. At times, I was brought to tears by the gut-wrenching abuse and adversity they faced, but also admired the resilient bond between them. Being Mexican-American, I related to many cultural references, and the dichos (sayings) th......more
