Event Details

Join us as Ms. Rosemary Zibart discusses her children's book "Beatrice on Her Own".  The novel takes place in Santa Fe during World War II, and it focuses on the Japanese internment camp north of the city. 

"Having fled the dreadful blitz in London and landed in sunny Santa Fe, New Mexico, Beatrice Agatha Sims has learned to appreciate a radically different culture and landscape. Then the 13-year-old girl must draw on her own experience of being a stranger in a strange land to battle local fears and prejudice when a Japanese Internment Camp is constructed on the edge of town. Will Beatrice have the ‘gumption’ required to face the challenges the war is bringing to everyone?"
