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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePam Muñoz Ryan is the recipient of the Newbery Honor Medal and the Kirkus Prize for her \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling novel, \u003ci\u003eEcho\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the NEA's Human and Civil Rights Award and the Virginia Hamilton Literary Award for multicultural literature for her body of work.
