My grandmère would say, "Old days, the men go off to the army. Hard time, let me tell you. They go off to die, or they come back. But if they die, we get some money from the army. If they come back, they get a job on the base. Now them little boys, they go off to prison just like the army. Like they have to. To be a man. They go off to die, or come back. But they ain't got nothin. Nothin either way."

Alfonso only paid attention to his own mother's face until he was about four. His moms Bettina was big and pink and freckled, with thin brown hair she always wore in a scrunchie and bangs that stuck out like antennae after she sweated. The other women in Sarrat--Fantine, Cerise, Clarette--they were vague and beige and never around. But Glorette--her skin was gold as the fake coins they gave out at Chuck E. Cheese.
