A lovely book that describes the life of a young Latino woman in the mid 1800's as she searches for family and travels across the Santa Fe trail. I really enjoyed the story and how the author portrayed life during this unusual time in American history. I highly recommend it.

This was such a wonderful YA historical fiction series, 3 books in all. I'm so glad I took the time to travel with Mary Peace Finley and her wonderfully developed characters, not to mention the true characters from the past!
