 | The Long Road Home by D. Anne Love
In this historical novel set in the 1830s, Jessie and her family move from Kentucky to Texas. The trip, planned by her rather impetuous father, doesn't go as planned and the entire family mourns when Jessie's younger sister dies during the journey. Lonely in her grief, Jessie strikes up a friendship with Angelina, a Mexican girl who lives nearby. But Jessie can only meet with Angelina in secret; she knows her father would never approve of their friendship since he has taken up arms against the Mexican government. As the war between the Texans and the Mexicans worsens, Jessie and her family move to the safety of a nearby fort--the Alamo. AUTHOR: D. Anne Love
