Fugitive Son: A Memoir - Paperback

by Aram?s Calder?n (Author)

Aramís Calderón was eleven in 1992 when federal marshals conducted a nighttime raid at the Baton Rouge apartment where he lived with his mother and four siblings. They were searching for Aramís's father, who had escaped from a nearby federal prison. Once satisfied with the answers from Aramís's mother, the marshals departed. At daybreak, so did Aramís's family--and drove toward a rendezvous with his father, who had fled to South Florida. Thus began an eight-month ordeal of constant moves, family aliases, and drug deals.
