In the heart of the Great Depression, Rancho Las Moras, like everywhere else in Texas, is gripped by the drought of the Dust Bowl, and resentment is building among white farmers against Mexican Americans. All around town, signs go up proclaiming “No Dogs or Mexicans” and “No Mexicans Allowed.” When Estrella organizes a protest against the treatment of tejanos in their town of Monteseco, Texas, her whole family becomes a target of “repatriation” efforts to send Mexicans “back to Mexico”—whether they were ever Mexican citizens or not.

I loved the part where it said something like “As you lay dying in Abuelo’s arms, did you wonder how or why, as favored children of the sun, we are so often all the stars denied?” That part is where the author got the title from, (as you can see), and I really like that quote because it’s basically saying that black people are so tan that the sun loves them because they are hard to get sunburnt, and how everyone is racist to THEM, even though they are the suns favorite children.
