About this listen
From the Streets of Chambers Lane follows the intriguing story of the Mendoza family's unexpected loss of their youngest son and sibling Michael. Dealing with spiritual struggles and disillusionment as well as familial rivalries and quirky social interactions, the novella introduces the listener to each diverse family member's perspective of the tragic event while personalizing their cultural past and fears of the unknown future. These perspectives include the drug-using black sheep Jose Luis; the religious, fanatical matriarch Lucia; and the detached and nascent Daniel, as well as, a host of extended family members and friends.

Story
After a mummified cavewoman was found in the permafrost of Siberia, an ancient virus was released that evolved half of mankind into vicious monsters, called "Links". When the virus spread, Kera was a prisoner at New Hope Prison. Her son, Charlie, was a Link. When they changed, she couldn’t find Charlie. She lost all hope. Not very far away was distressed Colonel Cockran. He saw himself as the new leader of the country, and he made it his personal mission to rid it of the Links no matter what the cost, no matter who he had to betray or kill to do it.

How she's made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasn't supposed to be so hard.

Now, in this courageous memoir, Wall tells the incredible story of how she emerged from the confines of the Fundamentalist Church of Latter Day Saints and helped bring one of America's most notorious criminals to justice.

The complex, deeply binding relationship between mothers and daughters is brought vividly to life in Katie Hafner's remarkable memoir, an exploration of the year she and her mother, Helen, spent working through, and triumphing over, a lifetime of unresolved emotions. Dreaming of a "year in Provence" with her mother, Katie urges Helen to move to San Francisco to live with her and Zoe, Katie's teenage daughter. Katie and Zoe had become a mother-daughter team, strong enough, Katie thought, to absorb the arrival of a 77-year-old woman set in her ways....

Story of a dysfunctional family
This is a sad story about a dysfunctional family. It started out slow, and with all the marriages, children, half siblings, aunts and uncles, it can be quite confusing - unless you pause the reading and make a chart. I eventually gave up on trying to keep track of who is who and tried to focus on the story.

Something was missing
The beginning was great. I liked the sibling rivalry but then it turned into what felt like 50 family members talking about their feelings toward the loss of a family member. The narrator did a great job but the story was missing some sort of action.

Punch Packing Powerful!
Daniel Maldonado writes stories so real that I swear they could be ripped from life! His characters are so deep, so human, and so realistically flawed that it’s easy to have strong feelings for them. I’ve rooted for them, cheered them on, and rejoiced with them. I’ve been known to get mad at them, and in this one when they suffered a heartbreaking loss, I grieved for them and with them. From the Streets of Chambers Lane is a painful story about a horrific time in the life of the Mendoza family. Magnificently written, there is hurt, pain, and anger and resentment, all honesty expressed. The narration is done beautifully and in a non-sensationalized manner that lets the story just play out perfectly on an even pace. I have to say, this one affected me deeply. It’s many hours later and I’m can’t stop thinking about it. I was held transfixed, pulled deep into the Mendoza family dynamic and part of me is still there. Oddly enough, I saw parts of my own family within some of the characters and I’ll bet I won’t be alone in that. Mr. Maldonado, five stunning stars. This one will not be soon forgotten!

Quite a family
The author leads us through many homes in this family as they deal with the death of a family member. The author is very detailed in his descriptions and if you like details, this book is for you. The details were more than I needed but the relationships between family members kept me going. The ending was well done.
The narrator did a good job and I was grateful that he didn’t try to put a different voice to each of the many characters. The nice thing about an audio book is that you can speed up or slow down as you wish, as you might in reading a book.
After the book ends be sure to listen to the bio about the author and especially about the narrator. That’s very funny.

Family dynamics
From the Streets of Chambers Lane is a book that talks about the dynamics of the Mendoza family after the death of the youngest son Michael. Every member of the family has their own memories of Michael some good and some bad. The description of the family is sad to say is something that comes straight out of the headlines about what really goes on behind closed doors. The book is well written and truthful.
