A Place in the Sun by Jill Rubalcaba tells the story of a young Mexican-American girl named Luz, who dreams of a brighter future amidst the hardships of her family's migrant lifestyle. As they travel from farm to farm in search of work, Luz grapples with the challenges of identity, culture, and belonging. When her family finds seasonal work in a California peach orchard, she discovers friendships, love, and the harsh realities of labor. Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, Luz's journey reveals her resilience and determination to carve out a place for herself in a world that often overlooks her.
