(3) YA After her mother's death on her family's trip West in 1878, Lizzy's father leaves her at an all-girls' Catholic school in Santa Fe. Protestant Lizzy is at first resistant but later attempts to understand the conventions of this unfamiliar setting and faith. This novel features an eclectic collection of characters and a possible miracle based on an actual Santa Fe legend about St. Joseph, both of which will please historical fiction fans. Bib.
