In He Forgot to Say Goodbye by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Ramiro and Jake live very different lives but have much in common. Wealthy, white Jake lives on the "Oh-Wow West Side" of El Paso, and Mexican American Ram lives in the poor neighborhood, "Dizzy Land." Both boys wonder how different their lives might be if their dads had stuck around.
