Adelita's Secretby MR Christopher Cloud
Release Date: 06/04/14
Summary from Goodreads:
Lost in a superficial world of materialism and social
status—and ashamed of her Latino heritage—seventeen-year-old Adelita Noé is
loved by two men, two men separated by a hundred years and vastly different
stations in life. One man owns little more than the shirt on his back. The
other, a poet at heart, is heir to a vast fortune.
Their love for Adelita
serves as the backdrop for the Latino girl’s quest to better understand herself
and her Mexican roots.
Adelita’s Secret tells the story of a teenage Latino girl who
has lost her moral compass. She is ashamed of her Mexican heritage. Quite by
accident, she finds a diary written by her great grandmother. The diary
provides a portal for Adelita to travel back in time.
She finds herself
immersed in the Mexican War of 1910, a war pitting Mexican farmers against the
corrupt land barons. Adelita joins the soldaderas, a band of warrior
women, then meets and falls in love with a Mexican soldier, Diego Santiago. Her
love for Diego serves to bring Adelita closer to her Mexican roots.
