Ernesto from East Oakland and Jada from West Oakland have problems – big problems. Ernesto's parents have been deported, and Jada's dad is in prison. Now they are heading on a journey through time: back into Oakland's past and forward into Oakland's future. As they try to return to the present, their time, the things they see will change their lives forever.
Packed with local sights and sounds, told in the language of The Town that they call home, Oakland Tales is the unforgettable coming of age story of two young people who come to understand that they are part of history and they can shape the future.
