PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
An engaging coming-of-age tale infused with history. When her father dies, 14-year-old Esperanza must abandon her privileged life on a Mexican ranch for the grim reality of 1930s agricultural labor camps in California. Set during the Great Depression, the book weaves together Mexican culture and immigrant life. Munoz loosely based her story on the experiences of her grandmother.
