(2) YA Virginia is only seven when she's "given" to a mestizo couple. She's expected to cook and clean for them and to care for their child. When she finally returns to her indígenas village as a teenager, she understands that she's caught between several worlds. Virginia's voice will compel readers throughout this story, which is based on Farinango's childhood. Glos.
