A fun read about a Hispanic Family in the 60's living in Southern California-Pacoima area. They own the Peace of the Shepherd Funeral Home close to San Fernando, which allows for some crazy events. The story is presented through the eyes of Lita Ramirez. Al Lucero is her biggest "pain in the ass", she tolerates his better than everyone else attitude, and takes joy in his demise. Raul, Lita's brother acts as Lita's protector, and is famous for his tootsie roll tosses. Abuella Sophia, a loving grandma that has a bad habit or two. Good bar incidents from the Palomino Bar, and the Hollywood crew. A read with great 60's locations and histories are included, including the hippie insanity of the 60's in Topanga Canyon.
