Prairie Lotus by Linda Sue Park
Set in the late 19th century, this historical novel follows the journey of a young half-Asian girl named Hanna as she and her father settle in a small town on the American frontier. Hanna dreams of attending school and becoming a dressmaker, but she faces prejudice and discrimination due to her mixed heritage. Through resilience and determination, she navigates the complexities of identity, community, and belonging, while striving to achieve her dreams in a world that often sees her as an outsider. Her story is a poignant exploration of courage, acceptance, and the pursuit of one's aspirations amidst adversity.
