PRAIRIE LOTUS
The year is 1880. Hanna Edmunds, age 14 and half-Asian, has just moved with her white father to the frontier town of LaForge, in what the U.S. government calls Dakota Territory. The only Asian in the whole town, she attends class in a one-room schoolhouse and helps her father set up a dress-goods business on Main Street - all in the face of bullying, contempt, and even hatred. Hanna learns that while there are no easy answers in her battle for acceptance, asking the right questions is a good way to start.
Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series will relish the opportunity to revisit the world of those books while at the same time viewing it through a different lens - one that examines the racism, sexism, and intolerance of the era. PRAIRIE LOTUS is both rooted in the details of American frontier life and relevant in its exploration of issues vital to today's young readers.
