In the journal she receives for her twelfth birthday in 1835, Lucinda Lawrence describes the hardships her family and other residents of the "Texas colonies" endure when they decide to face the Mexicans in a fight for their freedom.

Fantastic! Reminded me of another outstanding Dear America, Seeds of Hope. It didn't shy away from the difficulties of frontier life in Texas while also painting a picture of how beautiful the land and culture were during that time period.

It was so cool to read a Dear America book set in my home state. I was absolutely captivated by the descriptions of San Antonio and other familiar cities in Texas, as well as historical characters like Sam Houston, James Bowie, Davy Crockett and others. At times, reading this book felt like I was back in 7th grade Texas history class, but in the best way possible.

I highly recommend this book!
