520 a| "San Antonio, Texas, 1937. Thirteen-year-old Petra has big dreams: graduate from high school in a few years, become a writer, and travel the world. But after losing her beloved father, she's forced to put those dreams aside. With two younger siblings to care for, and with her stepmother struggling to make ends meet, Petra drops out of school to get a full-time job. She's hired at a pecan-shelling factory, where she pries the edible part of each nut out of its shell by hand. The work is grueling, the conditions are terrible, and the pay is so low that her family barely gets by. When the factory owners decide to pay workers even less, Petra knows it's time for change -- even if she has to take a huge risk to make that change happen. Maybe it's time for her to start dreaming again" --c| Jacket flap.;
