A Dream Called Home by Reyna Grande

emotional reflective

4.0

a beautiful memoir that explores Grande’s individual and familial experience with immigration from Mexico to the united states, focused mostly on the impact. the way Grande discovers an understanding of the decision her father made to leave her behind when he first left Mexico in order to create what he perceived would be a better life for his family. the grounding that writing and reading gave her when she felt lost and hurt within the abuse she experienced, when her identity wasn’t honored, when she couldn’t quite figure out how to put the pieces together

i now have to read Across a Hundred Mountains as soon as possible after reading about all of the heart, dedication, and sacrifice Grande put into her first novel!
