Ten Cents a Pound
A village girl wavers between toiling alongside her mother in the nearby fields for meager wages or journeying afar to pursue an education and greater opportunities in a compelling tale of love and sacrifice told through a series of rhythmic verses and poignant observations. In a story at turns both whimsical, with beautiful fluttering butterflies and flowers, and gritty, with stooped backs, worn hands, and tired faces, two generations of women dream of a better tomorrow.
