Good read. Guided by her saints, Esperanza goes on a quixotic trip from her small town in southern Mexico to Tijuana and Los Angeles to find her daughter who is presumed dead but she believes is still alive. Her innocence is challenged in the culture shocks she receives, and in the end finds herself and love.
