Esperanza Rising is truly and amazing story. Not only are the characters captivating but the culture and history are extremely enlightening. This story is set during the Great Depression and is about a family that falls hard from privileged circumstances in Mexico to working the orchard fields in California. I enjoyed reading about their experiences because its not something we typically think about or even learn about at school. If your looking for a quick read that might possible make you cry then this is the book for you! (p.s I love a good book that can make me cry :))
