Winner of the American Book Award, Across a Hundred Mountains is a
"timely and riveting" (People) novel about a young girl who leaves
her small town in Mexico to find her father, who left his family to
work in America--a story of migration, loss, and discovery.After a
tragedy separates her from her mother, Juana Garcia leaves in
search of her father, who left them two years earlier. Out of money
and in need of someone to help her across the border, Juana meets
Adelina Vasquez, a young woman who left her family in California to
follow her lover to Mexico. Finding themselves--in a Tijuana
jail--in desperate circumstances, they offer each other much needed
material and spiritual support and ultimately become linked forever
in the most unexpected of ways. In Across a Hundred Mountains,
Reyna Grande puts a human face on the controversial issue of
immigration, helping readers to better understand "the desperation
of illegal immigrants and the families they leave behind"
(Entertainment Weekly) in pursuit of a better life.
