In her village of indígenas, it is not uncommon to work in the fields all day, even as a child, or to be called a longa tonta—stupid Indian—by members of the ruling class of mestizos, or Spanish descendants. When seven-year-old Virginia is taken from her village to be a servant to a mestizo couple, she has no idea what the future holds.\nIn this poignant novel based on a true story, acclaimed author Laura Resau has collaborated with María Virginia Farinango to recount one girl's unforgettable journey to self-discovery. Virginia's story will speak to anyone who has ever struggled to find his or her place in the world. It will make you laugh and cry, and ultimately, it will fill you with hope.\n\nFrom the Hardcover edition.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0385907613\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 56JUHA000L1P_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Resau, Laura|Farinango, Maria Virginia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Library Binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
