According to a different source, this question refers to the book Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan.
In this book, we learn about the journey that Esperanza had to endure when she moved to the United States. After coming from a privileged background, Esperanza greatly struggles when it comes to adapting to a new life in the United States. One of the things that helps her adapt is the fact that her family is able to build a small shrine to Our Lady of Guadalupe.
The small shrine inspires deep feelings in many of the people who visit Esperanza's home. This is because the shrine is dedicated to one of the most important religious figures in Mexico. This allows the visitors to feel a connection with their Mexican heritage, and everything they left behind. The powerful image is also a reminder of the hope that motivates them to move forward.
