The jury's out because Clara doesn't think so! She's hiding dolls, crashing out over altarpieces, and in general feeling glum about the holiday season. Can Josefina and Tia Dolores lift her spirits? Will Josefina unlock a classic American Girl Hyperfixation? Does Celia cry for the first time reading one of the books? Find out all this and more on this week's episode!
