Reviews

"Fast-paced, populated by distinctive characters, and anchored in Auch's convincing sense of time and place." --School Library Journal "Auch supplies vivid period detail and strong female characters. . . . Dear America graduates will be hooked." --Publishers Weekly "The facts are riveting . . . the prejudice as well as the support the sisters get from other immigrants. . . . A good addition to women's history titles." --Booklist
