Ruguma New to America

Ruguma, a twelve-year-old orphan from Soldainia, is adopted and brought to America by Edmund Ligatelli, an American journalist. Ruguma's arrival is a big shock to Edmund's family, who have to cancel their vacation to care for Ruguma. Can Edmund's wife and daughters learn to accept this orphan into their family, despite jealousy, resentment, and ignorance? Outsiders are definitely not accepting. The Ligatellis receive hate mail and Abigail, a teacher and fellow Soldainian, is convinced that Ruguma is her long-lost sister. Will her plot to take Ruguma away from the Ligatellis work? Ruguma's story reminds us that we take a lot of things for granted, but she offers hope to a new generation of Americans.Lightle, Lugenia L. is the author of 'Ruguma New to America' with ISBN 9781413767230 and ISBN 1413767230.
