Hispaniccommunity Stories

In the heart of Westown, a tight-knit Hispanic community, everyone knows everyone. Carne asadas bring the neighborhood together at the community field, arguments turn into public spectacles, and windows become the best vantage points for the curious. But above all, in Westown, community means family. Bernice Johnson after receiving the news that her grandmother had suffered a heart attack, left behind her fast-paced city life to care for her lively woman. But now, with her grandmother gone, she remains in Westown, navigating life without the only person who loved her. One night after leaving work late, Bernice finds herself in a tough spot and makes a split-second decision that goes against her grandmother's most important rule: never go down The Lane. Desperate, she dashes down LaPrelta Lane, grabbing onto the first person she can find for help-not realizing the arm she grabbed onto was the arm of none other than, The Romano LaPrelta.
