A Dream Called Home by Reyna Grande

5.0

Grande tells the story of her efforts to secure her dream- to have a real home, a family that loves her as much as she loves them, and to make it as a writer- in her latest memoir. She describes the difficulties she faced within her personal life, as well as the struggles she faced within the world of academics. Grande reminds Latinx writers, especially Latina writers, that there IS a space for them in the world. She emphasizes her first experiences getting to learn about Latina writers in her university courses, and how much is meant for her to finally find something that reflected her own life. With tales of poverty, healing, and determination, Grande’s story is one that most can empathize with
