Noble, Diana J.

It's the summer of 1911 in northern Mexico, and soldiers are in the region. Evangelina's father decides they must move to a small town on the U.S. side of the border. Life in Texas is confusing, though the signs in shop windows that say 'No Mexicans' and some people's reactions to them are all-too clear. With the help and encouragement of the town's doctor and the attentions of a handsome boy, Evangelina begins to imagine a new future for herself.

It's the summer of 1911 in northern Mexico, and soon the de Leon family learns that the rumors of soldiers in the region are true.
