Pues Llamame Padre (Just Call Me Father)

A novel about a young Mexican-American teenager who enrolls in a minor seminary as a freshman in high school. Dominic Martínez has to encounter many challenges as he adapts to a changing world of the 1960s and living in an all male community away from his tight-knit family. His father, his parish priest and the community would like for him to become a Catholic priest. Dominic had to make a decision as to whether to stay in the minor seminary and become a priest or leave and do something else. Dominic's short-term goals are to get the seminary's basketball team into the state tournament, and to continue the legacy created by Ascension Seminary in the Model United Nations program.
