Esperanza Zendejas transports the reader through two cultures linked by a compelling heroine."   --Anne Ryder, Indianapolis news anchor"Your vivid descriptions of life in a small Mexican village both in 1957 and twenty years later, left feeling as though I had traveled there with you."    --Sue Anne Gilroy, Indiana Secretary of StateThis is a must-read book for young adults...it encompasses the best of two cultures --Graciana de Pena, April 1999
