N2  - Bella always dreamed of being a lector, just like her Grandfather, who reads novels, political essays and union news to the workers in a cigar factory.  However, circumstances force Bella to take a job at the cigar factory to help support her family instead of getting the education she needs to be a reader.  Then, her Aunt Lola is arrested with other workers after a union meeting, and radios begin to replace the lectors in the factories, and Bella must find a way to save her family and her dreams
