Description:
This historical fiction in the "Dear America" series uses diary entries to tell the story of a servant girl in a Spanish home in California in 1845. Marķa Rosalia and her brother were orphaned after their mother, and thousands of other Suisun Indian people, died of small pox. Her life shows much about class and racial differences, as well as the blending of Indian and Spanish ways that created the Mexican culture. |
