X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>What is the true power of stories? Can the
 y heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of telling t
 he story worth the price of the cure?</p>\n<p>With her signature blend of 
 sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande interrogates how living between tw
 o nations\, two languages\, and two identities has shaped the woman\, moth
 er\, and writer she has become. Moving from the legacy of violence in her 
 hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bittersweet family vacation in Europe s
 pent reconciling her own impoverished past with her children&rsquo\;s worl
 d of abundance\, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of surviva
 l.</p>\n<p>Whether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderlands or f
 inding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden\, Grande unflinching
 ly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we have beco
 me? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to define us\, h
 ow can we use story to heal while still honoring our boundaries?</p>\n<p>R
 egister today for this virtual talk if you identify as a seeker\, a dreame
 r\, or &ldquo\;anyone who believes in the enduring\, transformative power 
 of finding one&rsquo\;s voice.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>About the Author:</p>\n<p>R
