Angel Cordero

I was born in Queens in 1977 and raised in Brooklyn. I left New York at sixteen. Today I live in Florida with my wife, and I drive a truck for a living. I wrote Stay Down over years of late nights because my brother Melo told me our story deserved to be told.

It's for my brother Ruly, who loved every stray he ever found and didn't make it out. He was fourteen.

I didn't soften any of it. I wrote it the way I'd tell it to you across a table — plain and true. There's no big dramatic victory at the end. What I got was quieter and better: a steady home, a marriage, a son who never had to go to bed hungry. For where I came from, that's the whole win.

If you came up the way I did, you're not the only one.
