Two Badges: The Lives of Mona Ruiz - Paperback

by Mona Boucher Ruiz (Author)

This engrossing memoir charts Ruiz's journey toward self-identity, tracing the tortuous path of her life--a life in which Ruiz assumed contradictory roles: gang chola, high school drop-out, disowned daughter, battered wife, welfare mother, student, and policewoman.
