In this inspirational and unflinchingly honest memoir, acclaimed
author Reyna Grande describes her childhood torn between the United
States and Mexico, and shines a light on the experiences, fears,
and hopes of those who choose to make the harrowing journey across
the border. Reyna Grande vividly brings to life her tumultuous
early years in this "compelling...unvarnished, resonant" (BookPage)
story of a childhood spent torn between two parents and two
countries. As her parents make the dangerous trek across the
Mexican border to "El Otro Lado" (The Other Side) in pursuit of the
American dream, Reyna and her siblings are forced into the already
overburdened household of their stern grandmother. When their
mother at last returns, Reyna prepares for her own journey to "El
Otro Lado" to live with the man who has haunted her imagination for
years, her long-absent father. Funny, heartbreaking, and lyrical,
The Distance Between Us poignantly captures the confusion and
contradictions of childhood, reminding us that the joys and sorrows
we experience are imprinted on the heart forever, calling out to us
of those places we first called home. Also available in Spanish as
La distancia entre nosotros.
