When Lani was a young child her mom always told her less was more. She's fourteen, parentless, and technically homeless. But when she leaves to go to live in here Grandmas home, in a small town in the middle of nowhere...What will she discover?…
I am a dreamer. I wonder if I will always be the red balloon tied to an anchor. I hear Marin, talking about her future. I see the beautiful houses. I want something more but I'm stuck with "small and tight red steps"I am a dreamer I pretend that I'm older. I feel like I'm older too.I touch the cards which say "a house made of heart" (pg. 64) I worry about going to hell, "I was born on an evil day". (Pg58) I cry with my father after his abelito died. I am a dreamer. I understand that my family needs me.I say I will take the job. I dream that I will have a big house. I try to find a home in my heart. I hope I will keep bums in my attic.I am Esperanza, a dreamer of a better home.…
