X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In her ambitious new memoir\,&nbsp\;Migran
 t Heart: Essays About Things I Can&rsquo\;t Forget\, beloved bestselling a
 uthor Reyna Grande illuminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and t
 he complex journey of healing that follows survival.</p>\n<p>What is the t
 rue power of stories? Can they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childh
 ood? Is the cost of telling the story worth the price of the cure?</p>\n<p
 >With her signature blend of sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande inter
 rogates how living between two nations\, two languages\, and two identitie
 s has shaped the woman\, mother\, and writer she has become. Moving from t
 he legacy of violence in her hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bitterswee
 t family vacation in Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished past wi
 th her children&rsquo\;s world of abundance\, she uncovers startling truth
 s about the nature of survival.</p>\n<p>Whether being racially profiled in
  the Arizona borderlands or finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in he
 r garden\, Grande unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who
  we were and who we have become? How do we turn pain into power? When memo
 ry threatens to define us\, how can we use story to heal while still honor
 ing our boundaries?</p>\n<p>Register today for this virtual talk if you id
 entify as a seeker\, a dreamer\, or &ldquo\;anyone who believes in the end
 uring\, transformative power of finding one&rsquo\;s voice.&rdquo\;</p>\n<
