In 'Esperanza Rising', Esperanza Ortega has it all: fancy dresses, a beautiful house full of servants in Aguascalientes, Mexico, and the promise of a bright future at Rancho de las Rosas. However, an unexpected tragedy forces her to flee to California with her mother, where they must work in an agricultural camp alongside other Mexicans. There, Esperanza must face harsh realities such as hard work, acceptance, and economic difficulties. Through these experiences, Esperanza discovers that true wealth lies in family and community. This moving novel by Pam Muñoz Ryan portrays the life of Mexican workers in California during the Great Depression, giving voice to those who have historically been marginalized.
