\nAbout the book
\nReyna Grande vividly b rings to life her tumultuous early years in this "compelling...unvarnished \, resonant" (BookPage) story of a childhood spent torn between two parent s and two countries. As her parents make the dangerous trek across the Mex ican border to "El Otro Lado" (The Other Side) in pursuit of the American dream\, Reyna and her siblings are forced into the already overburdened ho usehold of their stern grandmother. When their mother at last returns\, Re yna prepares for her own journey to "El Otro Lado" to live with the man wh o has haunted her imagination for years\, her long-absent father. \;\n
Funny\, heartbreaking\, and lyrical\, \;The Distance Betwee n Us \;poignantly captures the confusion and contradictions of ch ildhood\, reminding us that the joys and sorrows we experience are imprint ed on the heart forever\, calling out to us of those places we first calle d home.
