In this translated edition of Before We Were Free (Horn Book rev. 9/02), the first-person present-tense narration flows as naturally as if Spanish had been the original language. This edition of Alvarez's Pura BelprÃÂ© award winner is an essential title for bilingual collections and for libraries serving Spanish-speaking communities.

" From renowned author Julia Alvarez comes an unforgettable story about adolescence, perseverance, and one girl's struggle to be free while living in the Dominican Republic under the rule of a dictator. Anita de la Torre never questioned her freedom living in the Dominican Republic. But by her twelfth birthday in 1960, most of her relatives have immigrated to the United States, her Tío Toni has disappeared without a trace, and the government's secret police terrorize her remaining family because of their suspected opposition to Trujillo's iron-fisted rule. Using the strength and courage of her family, Anita must overcome her fears and fly to freedom, leaving all that she once knew behind. "
