A Dream Called Home by Reyna Grande

5.0

Deeply enjoyed this memoir by Reyna Grande. I don’t have much to say- but that it captures beautifully the complex relationships and internal struggles between family loyalties, and striving to make your own way. It is definitely the difference between growing up with non-western family focus- on the unit and how you relate to all of those around you vs. the American family focus being in individual accomplishments and experience. Its a struggle I still bear, and had a hard time explaining and processing. I wish I had found this book sooner. <3 Reyna Grande is such an inspiring person!
