What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

When Josefina wants to rescue a newborn goat that needs help, Papa has doubts. But after a rattlesnake threatens the baby goat, Josefina discovers her healing skills – and her courage. She gets another chance to prove her bravery in a daring midnight journey to learn the truth about a man who may have stolen from her family. Then the worst happens: Josefina’s beloved aunt, Tia Dolores, announces she is leaving. How can Josefina get Papa to ask Tia Dolores the one question that might change her mind? The second book in Josefina’s stories is richly illustrated in full color and includes a peek into Josefina’s world in 1824.
