Chela González, la narradora del libro, es una empollona y jugadora de fútbol que apenas puede contener su emoción por empezar el sexto curso. Pero nada es como ella imaginaba: su mejor amiga la abandona para unirse a las chicas populares y todas actúan como si Chela no existiera. Chela se sumerge en las tareas escolares y en el cálido confort de su familia. Para Chela, su familia es como un sistema solar, en el que su padre es el sol y su madre, hermanos y hermana son como planetas que giran a su alrededor. Es el único mundo en el que encaja. Pero ese universo se ve amenazado cuando su fornido padre sufre un derrame cerebral. La abuela de Chela se traslada para ayudar a la familia. El olor de su perfume de anciana invade la casa. Ese olor es peor que los domingos. Los domingos eran tristes, pero se iban tan seguros como llegaban, pero la muerte era otra cosa, y Chela no entiende que eso es lo que todos esperan.

Esperanza creía que siempre viviría con su familia en su rancho de México: siempre tendría vestidos elegantes, una casa preciosa y sirvientes. Pero una tragedia repentina obliga a Esperanza y a su madre a huir a California durante la Gran Depresión y a instalarse en un campamento para trabajadores agrícolas mexicanos. Esperanza no está preparada para el duro trabajo, las luchas financieras o la falta de aceptación a la que ahora se enfrenta. Cuando su nueva vida se ve amenazada, Esperanza debe encontrar la manera de superar sus difíciles circunstancias: la vida de mamá, y la suya propia, dependen de ello.

Pam Muñoz Ryan retrata con elocuencia la difícil situación de los trabajadores mexicanos en esta abundante y apasionada novela que da voz a quienes históricamente se les ha negado una. "Cuando era niña, siempre asumí que mi abuela había crecido en la pobreza porque las historias que contaba eran principalmente sobre la crianza de sus hijos en campos de trabajo agrícola en California en la década de 1930. No fue hasta que fui joven cuando me habló de su infancia en México. Me conmovió tanto su historia de riqueza a trapos que me sentí obligada a compartirla". - Pam Muñoz Ryan.
