Her mother says conditions will improve but Lena suspects this belief is not only wrong...it's dangerous. "Exquisitely Rendered"-The Horn Book "A moving story, exquisitely told... a novel with the ring of authenticity as well as artistry."-The Contra Costa Times "The magic of this book lies in the remarkable writing style of the author whose depiction of time and place is so vivid that you walk the streets and recognize the people. A moving, beautifully written account of a little-known time".-Children's Literature Literature |
