Lady of Palenque by: Anna Kirwan (The Royal Diaries Series)

I have always liked these books, Mom got me hooked on them in elementary school. This is one of the ones that I don't one yet, I borrowed it from the library. This was a really good book. If you are looking for a good, fast book to read for yourself, or if you want your daughter to read a good, clean book, here is a series that you need to look at. It is called The Royal Diaries series. They are really, really, really good.

LADY OF PALENQUE: Flower of Bacal, Mesoamerica, A.D. 749.

9.15.18.2.11 9 Chuen 14 Mol [July 7]

Lakamha, Bacal Highland

I thought, now that I leave Lakamha, I may never return. I may never see my family again. Well, perhaps I will see some of them. But I will be like the water that comes down from a spring down deep in the heart of a mountain cavern. It can flow and seep and pool and cascade all the way down to the water lily fields, all the way down to the big river, all the way to the marshes and the great salt sea...

But it can never flow back uphill to its home.

I will never forget Lakamha, even if Lakamha forgets me.
