    About the Book

    Anita de la Torre has never questioned her freedom growing up in the Dominican Republic. But as she turns twelve in 1960, most of her relatives have fled to the United States, her uncle Toni has vanished without a trace, and the government's secret police terrorize her family for their suspected opposition to the Trujillo dictatorship. Drawing on her family's strength and courage, Anita must overcome her fears and take flight toward freedom, leaving behind everything she has ever known. From acclaimed author Julia Alvarez comes an unforgettable story of adolescence, perseverance, and one girl's fight for freedom.
