Horn Book Review

Growing up in New Mexico in the mid-1820s, Josefina finds her vocation as a healer in [cf2]Happy Birthday[cf1]; prevents disaster when an American wagon train comes to Santa Fe in [cf2]Saves the Day[cf1], and, in [cf2]Changes[cf1], paves the way for her aunt to marry her widowed father. Despite occasional flaws (flat characters, some far-fetched plot elements), these accessible novels feature a likable heroine and an interesting setting.
