Gift of the Yucatan: Maria's Rebellion
By Trudy Sauri
Ten-year-old Maria is growing up in the tropical climate of the Yucatan, in 1935. Her father is so busy with his business that he doesn't pay much attention to Maria or her family. She rebel's against school and takes money from the family store, blaming her best friend when she gets caught.
Maria is sure that her antics will soon get her father's attention; even if it causes her to get a whipping. Maria manages to lose her best friend, and gets her brother hurt in her selfish rebellion. Will Maria be able to get her best friend back? Will she regain her mother's trust, and her father's love?
I enjoyed this historical novel of the Yucatan and a young girl's rebellion during the troubled times of the 1930's. This author captured the essence of the culture, and the time period. Her characters will capture your heart.
