Our New Read

Lisa has picked our book for September.  WE will be reading The Distance Between Us: A Memoir by Reyna Grande. Here is a summary of what it is about:

Reyna Grande vividly brings to life her tumultuous early years in this 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.

So, borrow a copy from the library, borrow it from a friend, or if you feel like you would like to own this you can grab a copy online.  Happy reading!
