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.
