Charlie Ann
She was petite, beautiful, and well behaved. Charlie Ann was everything a parent could ask for. However, after the age of three, profound happiness was replaced with sadness and fear as both she and her mother become victims of physical abuse. Hank Galante lost his business and blamed Charlie Ann. He despised his daughter and detested his wife for protecting her against him. One evening following a party in their home, Hank savagely beat his wife and daughter. When his wife died from her injuries a few weeks later, he realized that he also had to silence his daughter. Charlie Ann was placed in protective custody, but before her father could be apprehended, she was abducted.

In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills
Residential and industrial sprawl changed more than the political landscape of postwar Los Angeles. It expanded the employment and living opportunities for millions of Angelinos into new suburbs. In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills examines the struggle for inclusion into this exclusive world—a multilayered process by which Mexican Americans moved out of the barrios and emerged as a majority population in the San Gabriel Valley—and the impact that movement had on collective racial and class identity. Contrary to the assimilation processes experienced by most Euro-Americans, Mexican Americans did not graduate to whiteness on the basis of their suburban residence. Rather, In Search of the Mexican Beverly Hills illuminates how Mexican American racial and class identity were both reinforced by and took on added metropolitan and transnational dimensions in the city during the second half of the twentieth century.
