Hearts Unbroken by Cynthia Leitich Smith
4.0
Hearts Unbroken was a pleasant surprise. This book was an assignment for a course for my literary certificate. I'd never heard of the author or this book prior to reading it.
This book is about a Native Muscogee girl named Lpuise and her family living in Kansas. The book follows her through her senior year in high school dealing with current, real-world society issues with other cultures and races in America.
Louise's family deals with trials and tribulations bringing them closer to each other as well as giving Louise a sense of purpose as a writer for her school's newspaper The Hive. Louise chooses to write about tough topics, one being the cast of The Wizard of OZ performance her school is putting on. The casting choices being "unconventional " because the cast members were of different cultures and races than the original storyline.
There was definitely tough subjects to digest. But an overall good read.
