conversations.value: Esperanza Rising: Esperanza Ortega was a very wealthy girl who had everything she wanted and had a loving mother and father whom she adored and she lived in Aguascalientes, Mexico.\nOne day, her father and some of his men are suddenly killed by bandits while he is out working at their ranch.\nHer father intended to leave everything to his wife, Ramona, and Esperanza, but the family lawyer informs them that a loophole in the will states that the ranch, where most of the money comes from, will go to Señor Ortega's step brother, Luis Ortega, whom Esperanza calls Tío Luis, who is suspected to have a hand at Señor Ortega's murder.\nHe plans to go into politics even deeper, and feels that Ramona, a famous wealthy socialite loved by many in their town, will look good on his side and offers to marry her.\nShe refuses, and he subtly threatens that bad things will happen if she does not marry him.\nTheir mansion later burns during a mysterious fire and Tío Luis returns and re-offers his wedding proposal.\nRamona disruptively wants to say no but she says yes because she wants to spare everyone's life, under the condition that he rebuilds the mansion and sends her money and a wagon to visit her mother, Abuelita.\nEsperanza openly tells him she dislikes him, and he says the moment he becomes her stepfather, he will send her to a boarding school.\nLater on, Ramona tells Esperanza that she is not planning to marry him, and plans to escape to America.\nWith the help of Abuelita, Alfonso, Miguel, and Hortensia (all servants for Esperanza), they trick Tío Luis to give Ramona money and necessities, and escape with the help of their loyal servants to cross the border.\nThey leave Abuelita with her sisters because of her injured ankle.\nAbuelita promises to return to them after she heals.\nDespite what happened, Esperanza and her family must migrate to the United States.\nUnfortunately, they move during the Great Depression.\nNow, Esperanza learns to face conflicts and rise above them.\nRamona and Esperanza live in a poor Mexican labor camp in Arvin, California with their former servants and their family.\nRamona adjusts to a poor life, but Esperanza's attempts to hold on to her memories are laughed upon by the poor children, especially a migrant girl named Marta.\nMany terrible things happen, but with help from Esperanza's family, she learns to face her challenges.\nRamona, along with their former servants, works in the fields, while Esperanza stays home with her servants' cousins (Isabel, a young girl, and Pepe and Lupe, both babies).\nWhen a dust storm occurs, Mama gets sick (with Valley Fever) and must ultimately move to a hospital.\nUnable to afford the hospital bills, Esperanza gets a job cutting out potato eyes.\nThroughout the seasons, Esperanza takes on ever-changing jobs to get a bus ticket for Abuelita, pay for the hospital bills, and take care of the household.\nHowever, upon learning that Ramona is better, and Esperanza has saved enough for Abuelita, Esperanza finds that Miguel, her servants' son and childhood friend, has stolen her money.\nDays later, Miguel sends a message saying he has a surprise for the family at a bus stop.\nEsperanza, Alfonso, and Hortensia go to the bus stop as told.\nThey then learn that Miguel, rather than seeking a railroad job in northern California as he claimed, has used the money to go to Mexico and get Abuelita.\nThe story ends exactly one year after the death of Esperanza's father, with the three families gathering together to celebrate Esperanza's fifteenth birthday.\nEsperanza's life gets turned upside down, but she goes through and learns that changes can be good and sometimes surprises happen when ever they feel like.
