ESPERANZA RISING
SKU: 1684

She'd always have fancy dresses, a beautiful home filled with servants, and Mama, Papa, and Abuelita to care for her. But a sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and Mama to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp. Esperanza isn't ready for the hard work, financial struggles brought on by the Great Depression, or lack of acceptance she now faces. When Mama gets sick and a strike for better working conditions threatens to uproot their new life, Esperanza must find a way to rise above her difficult circumstances-because Mama's life, and her own, depend on it.

Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck
SKU: 1124
$13.00George is small and quick-tempered; slow witted Lennie is his opposite—an immense man, strong but naturally docile, a giant with the mind of a child. Despite their difference, George and Lennie are bound by a vision: their own small farm, where they'll raise cows, pigs, chickens, and rabbits. When they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, the dream at last seems within reach. But their hopes, like "the best-laid schemes of mice and men," begin to go awry. The story unfolds with the inevitability of a Greek tragedy, as Lennie commits an accidental murder, and George must do what he can to make things right. Learn More -

With Open Hands: A Story about Biddy Mason
SKU: 1646
$12.95Biddy Mason never dreamed of becoming a pioneer. She was forced to by her master, to who she ha been given as a "wedding gift" at just eighteen years of age. Walking 1700 miles across the Great Plains, Biddy herded cattle, set up camp, fed a large family, and care for her master's sickly wife-all with a nursing baby on her hip.
Though small in stature, Biddy had an indomitable spirit, braving bitter cold, thunderstorms and hailstorms, blistering heat, and blistered feet. And when the opportunity came for her to gain her freedom in California, she did so. Free at last, Biddy put all her knowledge, skill, and resourcefulness to good use, delivering babies, healing the sick, and feeding the hungry.
She was the first black woman in Los Angeles to own property and became one of California's wealthiest African American women. Known for her charity and generosity, Biddy care for the afflicted during the smallpox epidemic, founded the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, started schools for black children, and visited jail inmates. Her grateful community lovingly called her Grandma Mason-the woman who lived by the gospel of the "open hand."
