2013 International Latino Book Award Finalist-The Mariposa Award-Best First Book-Fiction

"If you like writing that is unpredictable and makes you think, this collection is for you.  These short stories have characters with complex, sometimes depressing, but always fascinating lives." -Latino Stories.com 2013 Top Ten "New" Latino Authors to Watch (and Read)

The House of Order, the first collection of composite stories by John Paul Jaramillo
, presents a stark vision of American childhood and family, set in Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. Manito Ortiz sorts family truth from legend as broken as the steel industry and the rusting vehicles that line Spruce Street. The only access to his lost family's story is his uncle, the unreliable Neto Ortiz.
