Reyna Grande
When a young Mexican girl’s father leaves his wife and three children behind to make the dangerous trek across the border to the United States, he promises he will soon return from “El Otro Lado” (The Other Side) with enough money to build them a dream house where they can all live together. Things aren’t that easy for Reyna Grande in, The Distance Between Us: A Memoir (Atria Books, $25.00), which captures the confusion and contradictions of childhood, especially one spent torn between two parents and two countries. “A standout immigrant coming-of-age story.”—Kirkus Reviews. Grande is the author of the novels Across a Hundred Mountains and Dancing with Butterflies.
