Readers' Favorite 5 star review:
The Children of Hope, written by Jenny Twist and translated by Alicia Pérez Alarza, is a short story told in both English and Spanish solely as a dual purpose assignment. The realities told in this moving mini-saga are heart-wrenching. The narrative is tightly woven and easy to read. The Children of Hope is an excellent addition to school, church, and public libraries. Jenny Twist masterfully tells the story with grace and understanding on a subject often considered taboo.
