The setting of Esperanza Rising begins in Aguascalientes, Mexico, at Esperanza's family's ranch (it is described as being beautiful). The story then follows Esperanza as she and her mother flee north to California, during the Great Depression. The book then describes a Mexican farming community where previously pampered Esperanza has to work.
It's been a few years since I've read this book, but I remember it being good. I hope this helped.
