A beautiful, touching coming of age story that focuses on the challenges of leaving a life behind for the hope of a better one. This book discusses one kind of immigration story and how immigrants have fought to live in this country when they could no longer live in their home country. This story also shows how quickly our lives can change, our privilege be lost and the pains that come along with learning to live life differently than you ever have before.

This was an enjoyable, sometimes challenging and thought-provoking story of Mexican immigration to the USA during the Depression. I enjoyed Esperanza's transformation from spoilt little rich girl to responsible caring teenager, and the emphasis on family and on appreciating what we have.
