Author Kristin Dickerson left her 15-year career as a TV journalist to join her husband, Peter, on a pilgrimage to some of the holiest places in the world.

NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH 2022
In 1913, during the Mexican Revolution, twelve year old Petra Luna and her family flee their burning village. They cross desert plains and battlefields, desperate to escape the wrath of the Federales. Every night, when Petra closes her eyes, she hangs tight to her dreams. In one of them, she can read, and she reads everything books, newspapers, EVERYTHING. But all of her dreams will have to wait as long as she stays true to her promise to Papa.
Alda P. Dobbs is the author of the historical novels Barefoot Dreams of Petra Luna and its followup, The Other Side of the River (September 2022). Her debut novel received a Pura Belpre Honor and is a Texas Bluebonnet Master List selection. Alda was born in a small town in northern Mexico but moved to San Antonio, Texas as a child. She studied physics and worked as an engineer before pursuing her love of storytelling. She’s as passionate about connecting children to their past, their communities, different cultures and nature as she is about writing.
