SAN ANTONIO, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A high school athlete dealing with a host of unique challenges must find a way to heal from his heartache and honor his true identity before graduation in A.G. Castillo's new coming-of-age novel "Valiente: Tattoos and Temptations" (published by Archway Publishing).
Chente Jimenez bravely navigates his road to self-acceptance and boldly confronts homophobia in the locker room. His journey to self-discovery is filled with the impulsive innocence of young love and a medicine woman's foreboding warning of danger and death. With the support of his loving family and loyal friends, he tackles the challenges that are thrown his way to becoming Valiente.
"'Valiente' is a series that will offer readers an authentic view into the lives of a lower-middle class Latino family who fights hard but loves harder," Castillo says. "'Valiente' will also softly explore a taboo relationship between a high school coach and an athlete. It will offer glimpses into the supernatural."
"Valiente" is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, from Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Valiente-Tattoos-Temptations-G-Castillo/dp/1665705779.
