Esperanza pensaba que siempre vivir̕a con su familia en su rancho en M̌xico, y que siempre tendr̕a 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 epoc̀ de la Gran Depresi̤n, y a asentarse en un campamento para trabajadores agr̕colas mexicanos. Esperanza no est̀ preparada para el trabajo duro, las penurias econ̤micas provocadas o la falta de aceptaci̤n que ahora sufre; pero cuando su nueva vida se ve amenazada, deber̀ buscar la manera de sobreponerse a las dificultades: su vida y la de su madre dependen de ello.
Esperanza thought she'd always live a privileged life on her family's ranch in Mexico. She'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home filled with servants, and Mama, Papa, and Abuelita to care for her. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard work, financial struggles brought on by the Great Depression, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When Mama gets sick and a strike for better working conditions threatens to uproot their new life, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances -- because Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.
