Esperanza Rising Audiobook (Free)

When Esperanza and Mama are forced to flee to the bountiful region of Aguascalientes, Mexico, to a Mexican farm labor camp in California, they must adapt to a lifestyle without fancy dresses and servants these were accustomed to in Rancho de las Rosas. Today they need to confront the difficulties of hard work, approval by their personal people, and financial difficulties brought on by the Great Unhappiness. When Mama falls ill and a strike for better working circumstances threatens to uproot their new lease of life, Esperanza must relinquish her hang on the past and figure out how to embrace a future ripe using the riches of family members and community.
