Description
All For The Better: A Story of El Barrio is about a young Puerto Rican girl, Evelina Lopez Antonetty, who showed herself over and over again to be a leader. She proved that one person could make a difference. It was her faith in humanity and her love of all people that helped her succeed. She is remembered by people in the South Bronx and throughout the larger Puerto Rican community. During the dark days of the Great Depression, eleven-year-old Evelina Lopez Antonetty leaves Puerto Rico to live with an aunt in New York and encounters prejudice and hardships. With patience and determination, she finds success and learns that one person can make a difference as she adjusts to life in her new home. Nicholasa Mohr is a published author of several young adult and children’s books. Some of her published credits include: All For The Better: A Story of El Barrio (Stories of America), The Dust Bowl Adventures of Patty and Earl Buckler (I Am American) and Yankee Blue or Rebel Gray: The Civil War Adventures of Sam Shaw. Alex Haley, as General Editor, wrote the introduction.
