Esperanza doesn't want to belong, not to her run-down neighborhood, and not to the low expectations the world has for her. Capturing her thoughts and emotions in poems and stories, she is able to rise above hopelessness and create a quiet space for herself in the midst of her oppressive surroundings. Esperanza's story is that of a young girl coming into her power, and inventing for herself what she will become.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Kahuku P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order     in Processing Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library YA -- Fiction Cisneros Classics Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Cisneros   Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library YA -- Fiction Classics pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList
