This heart-warming story is about Bella, a 13-year-old girl in
Tampa, Florida, in the 1930s. Her grandfather is a "lector" at a
cigar factory, which means he reads fiction, newspapers, and union
news to the workers as they roll cigars. Being a "lector" is an
important role in their Cuban American immigrant community. But the
hard times of the Depression mean that Bella must go to work in the
factory. Her hope of getting the education a "lector" needs seems
impossible.
A portrait of the Finnish immigrant experience in Minnesota during
the early twentieth century-now in paperback After journeying
across the Atlantic with his mother and two sisters, young Otto
Peltonen joins his father in the iron ore mines of northern
Minnesota, experiencing the harsh labor conditions that were common
at the time, as mining companies cared more about making a profit
than for their workers' safety. Writing in his journal about his
family's struggles and the hard life Finnish immigrants endured in
the early twentieth century, Otto ultimately strengthens his
resolve to find the freedom his family had first sought in America.
