After sending in application after application with no response, Mary leaves her home in Albany, New York and heads to Washington D.C determined to fulfill her dream.

Our library book discussion group chose this for our Dec. selection. The author’s last name is spelled Oliveira, not Oliviera–I had to check a few times myself.
Just thought you’d appreciate the correction. I, too am enjoying the book.
