Book Description
This book is broken down into two basic parts. Part one is how the Retired Senior Volunteer Patrol makes a difference in people’s lives due to their daily duties as volunteers with the San Diego Police Department. The everyday duties of RSVP’s are described in detail by providing interesting stories about each of the categories of jobs. Gregg and his wife Melody set no limits for their time spent going over-and-above volunteer requirements. Part two is about the special equipped license plate reader car that was used exclusively by the author in finding stolen cars, stolen license plates, and cars wanted for felony crimes. Gregg and Melody spent every available moment of their patrol time seeking stolen cars, and in the process became the most successful of all the RSVP volunteers at finding stolen cars setting a record for stolen car recoveries that will probably never be beat.

Book Description
By the Lake of Sleeping Children explores the post-NAFTA and Proposition 187 border purgatory of garbage pickers and dump dwellers, gawking tourists, and relief workers, fearsome coyotes, and their desperate clientele. In 16 indelible portraits, Urrea illuminates the horrors and the simple joys of people trapped between the two worlds of Mexico and the United States—and ignored by both. The result is a startling and memorable work of first-person reportage.

Book Description
This hard-hitting, beautiful short story collection from one of America's preeminent literary voices “reflect[s] both sides of his Mexican-American heritage while stretching the reader's understanding of human boundaries” (Kirkus). Examining the borders between one nation and another, between one person and another, Urrea reveals his mastery of the short form. This collection includes the Edgar-award winning "Amapola" and his now-classic "Bid Farewell to Her Many Horses," which had the honor of being chosen for NPR's "Selected Shorts" not once but twice. Suffused with wanderlust, compassion, and no small amount of rock and roll, The Water Museum is a collection that confirms Luis Alberto Urrea as an American master.
