A fabulous memoir of an immigrant to the United States from Mexico that transformed her life. The sheer will to succeed combined with key people that supported her in her journey made Reyna into a successful author and mother. Her story is a reminder that a terrible childhood, poverty, abuse do not make a person. Very inspirational!

Sheds further light as it expands and continues the author's story from The Distance Between Us, adding additional dimensions to the characters and family, their motivations and what happens to them after the events of the first book. Also shows the challenges that an English major faces post-graduation in becoming a writer, beyond the skillset gained from a university education. Recommend this book if you have read the first, but it is clearly not as good a book as The Distance Between Us.
