  ambitious new memoir\, "<a href="https://dbrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record
 /S18C937005">Migrant Heart: Essays About Things I Can&rsquo\;t Forget</a>\
 ," beloved author Reyna Grande illuminates the hidden cost of the American
  Dream and the complex journey of healing that follows survival.</p>\n<p>W
 hat is the true power of stories? Can they heal the jagged edges of a trau
 matic childhood? Is the cost of telling the story worth the price of the c
 ure?</p>\n<p>With her signature blend of sophistication and raw honesty\, 
 Grande interrogates how living between two nations\, two languages and two
  identities has shaped the woman\, mother and writer she has become. Movin
 g from the legacy of violence in her hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bi
 ttersweet family vacation in Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished
  past with her children&rsquo\;s world of abundance\, she uncovers startli
 ng truths about the nature of survival.</p>\n<p>Whether being racially pro
 filed in the Arizona borderlands or finding unexpected wisdom from the slu
 gs in her garden\, Grande unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap bet
 ween who we were and who we have become? How do we turn pain into power? W
 hen memory threatens to define us\, how can we use story to heal while sti
 ll honoring our boundaries?</p>\n<p>Register today for this virtual talk i
