Rosa Sanchez is Pancho's twenty-year-old sister. She died in a motel room two weeks before Pancho was sent to St. Anthony's. Rosa was a semi-functioning adult, suffering from a mental disability that left her with the mind of a ten-year-old. Despite this, Rosa worked at a café, a job she loved, and occasionally worked as a prostitute for extra cash. Throughout the novel, Pancho searches for the man he believed killed Rosa to inflict his revenge.
