The beginning of this book was so terribly sad that I almost stopped reading entirely. One tragedy after another rocks the family, until Esperanza and her mother immigrate to the U.S. I was helped along by the author's note, which mentions that some of the story is partially based on her own grandmother's experiences. And though Esperanza's life becomes hard as she's poor and works in migrant camps, it is ultimately one of hope and the power of family and friends to come together. (
