Esperanza renace

Pam Muñoz Ryan (USA)
Novel, 266 pages

Esperanza was too young to question her privilege and position as the only child of a wealthy landowner in Central Mexico, enjoying beautiful dresses, lavish gifts, and loving parents in a home filled with silver and servants. But dramatic events force her to flee to California with her mother, the beautiful and dignified Ramona, to scrape together a new life as farm workers in the central valley of California, facing poverty, hard labor, discrimination, and the anguish of their personal losses.
In the face of seemingly insurmountable life upheavals, can Esperanza survive and even thrive?

From renowned author Pam Muñoz Ryan comes an historically accurate and unforgettable tale of betrayal, harrowing escapes, perseverance, and the grit and growth it takes for Esperanza to embrace reality into the creation of a new life.
