The glass eyes Montero made were finely crafted and indistinguishable from a living eye. For Jimmy, the prosthetic that filled his socket was a constant source of compliment. But when people listened closely, it had a quiet moan. From El Mercadito to Boyle Heights, Jimmy was known as "El mariachi con el ojo triste." The mariachi with one sad eye.

An East L.A. love and coming-of-age story about a young flamenco dancer and a street musician with a sad, magical glass eye. His trio is on the verge of fame, but it as it navigates the music scene of 1970s L.A., love, loss and death follow the group, and an aging, eccentric eye-maker in Tijuana has put the secret in Jimmy's glass eye.

A vibrant, nostalgic ride through the music and culture of East Los Angeles through the lives of four young artists; The book deals with the intersections of race, poverty, sex, faith, tradition and alternative realities in a year where everything in their lives is at stake. Each of them needs something from the City: fame, love, a miracle, and as they find their way into worlds not their own, they must draw on both the past and on what is to be learned from characters they are meeting.
