Esperanza is the daughter of a wealthy ranch owner in Mexico during a time of unrest. The evening before her birthday, Esperanzas life changes forever when she learns that her father has been murdered. Her mother makes the decision to move to the United States, rather than marry one of her husbands step-brothers, and they sneak out of the country. Esperanza is shocked at the conditions they now have to live inbefore she had a large, sprawling house, and now she shares a horse stall with 4 people. Eventually she learns the ways of the camp, and learns that for every valley, there is a mountain. The writing is clear and precise, and much of the Spanish is translatedeither right in the sentence, or inferred with the next. Each chapter is headed by a different food, which makes sense as they dont tell time by months at these camps, they tell by which crop. Esperanzas development was a little hard to follow, but her emotions are real, and the changes she makes are not unrealistic. I nearly cried at the beginning. The author includes a note at the end.
