The story
Esperanza and her oldest son Juan Diego belong to a Mexican peasant family who live and grow corn near a remote mountain village known as Santiago. She is keen to consult Trini, a local wise woman, as to the gender, health and future fortune of her unborn baby. The news is good as Trini casts a prophecy for a healthy boy and the family — the unnamed father, two younger sons (Carlos and little Paco) and some daughters — receive the good tidings with relief.
