Growing up, life gets hard; you must pay bills, take care of yourself, and feed yourself daily. Some will stay at home with family while they finish college, some will work and go to school, and some fortune enough will live in dorms on campus while finishing their degree. But some will move in with roommates to help split the cost to keep a roof over their heads to make it through college.

Loretta Saunders grew up in a Christian household; they did not own a television and would sit around the table reading scriptures from the bible every night. The girls weren't allowed to wear pants or cut their hair due to their religion. Loretta grew up with an indigenous ancestry and had strong ties to her culture, which led her to the path she found growing up. The Saunders were the family you would watch on tv, they were close knit and spent the summers on road trips, frog catching, and more. As the children got older, their parents would allow their friends to join them on the trips, and it wasn't long before the Saunders children discovered alcohol and drugs. From the outside looking in, the family seemed like the Brady brunch, one big happy family, but in the shadows, there was more than met the eye.

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
