Esperanza Renace

ebook
A Mexican "Grapes of Wrath," based on a family story, from the award-winning author Pam Muñoz Ryan.

Esperanza pensaba que siempre viviría con su familia en su rancho en México, y que siempre tendía hermosos vestidos y una linda casa llena de sirvientes. Pero una tragedia inesperada las obliga a ella y a su madre a escapar a California en la época de la Gran Depresión, y a asentarse en un campamento para trabajadores agrícolas mexicanos. Esperanza no está preparada para el trabajo duro, las penurias económicas o la falta de aceptación que ahora sufre; pero cuando su nueva vida se ve amenazada, deberá buscar la manera de sobreponerse a las dificultades: su vida y la de su madre dependen de ello.

Esperanza thought she'd always live with her family on their ranch in Mexico—she'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home, and servants. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California during the Great Depression, and to settle in a camp for Mexican farm workers. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard labor, financial struggles, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When their new life is threatened, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances—Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.
