About this listen

For fans of I Am Malala comes this poignant novel based on the true story of one girl's unforgettable journey to self-discovery.

Born in an Andean village in Ecuador, Virginia lives with her family in a small, earthen-walled dwelling. In her Indigenous community, it is not uncommon to work in the fields all day, even as a child, or to be called a longa tonta-stupid Indian-by members of the privileged class of mestizos, or Spanish descendants. When seven-year-old Virginia is taken from her home to be a servant to a mestizo couple, she has no idea what the future holds.

In this poignant novel based on her own story, the inspiring Maria Virginia Farinango has collaborated with acclaimed author Laura Resau to recount one girl's unforgettable journey to find her place in the world. It will make you laugh and cry, and ultimately, it will fill you with hope.

Absolutely blown away!

Virginia’s story is quite inspiring! I found myself completely encapsulated by her journey and rooting for her to triumph all the obstacles she faced. I related to much of her story and am so happy to see that in spite of everything she found her way to success and most importantly herself.

The narrator, ML Sanchez, is amazing! She was so easy to listen to and brought so much life to the characters that it allowed me to get lost in the book. I am in absolute awe by her ability to provide such a unique voice to the different people in the story. I almost forgot it was all being read by one person.

What a wonderful story and a great listen! I look forward to “reading” future projects!
