Summary:
When her father and brothers joined the Cristeros War to fight for the right to practice religion, Jovita Valdovinos wanted to help. She wasn't allowed to fight, but that didn't stop her from observing how her father strategized and familiarizing herself with the terrain. When tragedy struck, she did the only thing that felt right to her--cut her hair, donned a pair of pants, and continued the fight, commanding a battalion who followed her without question. In Spanish.
