Historical fiction about Texas at the turn of the 20th century and one girl's journey to her true self.
Sometimes it is fun and informative to read a book written for young teens. As a young girl at the turn of the century, Calpernia Tate bonded with her grandfather and became much more interested in natural science than in domestic science. Having six brothers, her parents expected her to learn to cook, sew, knit, tat, etc. and she struggled with it all. A warm, wonderful story.
