That's all Rosa wants, just an education. A real, education though, not just playing at school, actually learning things. But she's Mexican. Mexican's don't get as good of education, not in 1935. Not in Texas. It's not just society's attitudes that are a hindarance. It's the dust bowl. It's destroying crops, it's causing ill health, it's destroying buildings, including the school building. How is Rosa ever supposed to conquer all of this to get an education? And will the struggles cause her to lose or strengthen her faith? | Extra Notes: | The Sisters In Time series does it's best to tell a historically accurate story about a young girl in a different time period. The goal is for young girls to see the similarities between themselves and the girls back in history. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 3 |
