Rosa Moreno

I loved this book. So now I'm reading more and trying to get my friends to read them to.

Rosa Moreno grew up in Hollywood, but it wasn't a glamerous life. Since the death of her father, she and her mother have struggled to make ends meet, but the country is in the midst of the Great Depression. Rosa's mother dreams of making her a star, and Rosa doesn't have the heart to tell her mother that she wishes for something different, although she's not sure what yet. But Rosa does manage to discover what it is she wants to be, and determines to live her dream while still making her mother happy. I highly reccomend this novel if you're interested in historical fiction, the early history of movies, or if you're a fan of the American Diaries series.
