Synopsis:
Esperanza wishes to escape her family's impoverished life in the small red house on Mango Street and one day return to rescue her loved ones. This beloved story is an account of life in an immigrant community addressing themes of racism, sexism, sexuality, sexual abuse, feminism, and Chicana culture.
