ABOUT THE FINE LINE Manuel Vega was not unlike other Mexican immigrants who worked the farmlands of West Texas. Poor and uneducated, Manuel struggled to feed a growing family on the meager wages paid to farm hands of his time. But, to seven children who called him father, Manuel was like no other. In a tiny village in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, a legend and terror was born. Handsome and regal, cruel and cold, to his heirs and others who knew him; lines of differing emotions were also born. A man who in his youth did not fear challenging even God himself, Manuel was unaware that his actions would one day make him hero and villain, devil and saint. There is a fine line between love and hate. Meet the prince whose life, in the hearts of his children, grandchildren and those who knew him, gave birth to both.
