Wealthy and privileged, Esperanza and her mother must leave their beautiful home in Mexico after her father is murdered. They flee to California to work and live on a Mexican farm labor camp during the Great Depression. The challenges of the hard work and the economic difficutlies make very interesting reading. I recommend this book.
