A Line in the Sand: The Alamo Diary of Lucinda Lawrence
201 pages · First published 1998
Thirteen-year-old Lucinda Lawrence moves with her family to Texas in 1835 as tensions between Mexican authorities and Anglo-American settlers move toward open revolt. Her diary records frontier life, political arguments, and the escalating conflict that culminates at the Alamo. Lucinda experiences historical events through family and community relationships rather than as distant military history. Sherry Garland’s Dear America novel places a young fictional diarist amid the Texas Revolution, presenting both the excitement and human cost of a struggle later transformed into legend.
