**Four starred reviews!** A farm-working girl with big dreams meets
activist Dolores Huerta and joins the 1965 protest for workers'
rights in this tender-hearted novel in verse, perfect for fans of
Rita Williams-Garcia and Pam Munoz Ryan. Lula Viramontes aches to
one day become someone whom no one can ignore: a daring ringleader
in a Mexican traveling circus. But between working the grape
harvest in Delano, California, with her older siblings under
dangerous conditions; taking care of her younger siblings and Mama,
who has mysteriously fallen ill; and doing everything she can to
avoid Papa's volatile temper, it's hard to hold on to those dreams.
Then she meets Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong, and other labor
rights activists and realizes she may need to raise her voice
sooner rather than later: Farmworkers are striking for better
treatment and wages, and whether Lula's family joins them or not
will determine their future.

for her boys than what she once had. In her growth as a women Paris
decided to get into the family business of cosmetology. Facing
financial hardship changing professions Paris decides it may be in
the boy's best interest that they live with their father. With no

develops a new outlook. Paris embraces this new life full of
prominent people, events, and opportunity only to be placed on

your future, and out of spite destroys your present. Join Paris in
the most interesting, intriguing true story never, but finally

custodial parent manipulates the system to punish non custodial
parents not thinking about what type of affect their actions have
on the children. Reading this you will gain a real connection to
Paris's character, how she is overcomes her past, a believer of
faith, and a woman of God.
