X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>beloved bestselling author Reyna Grande il
 luminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and the complex journey of
  healing that follows survival.</p>\n<p>What is the true power of stories?
  Can they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of t
 elling the story worth the price of the cure?</p>\n<p>With her signature b
 lend of sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande interrogates how living be
 tween two nations\, two languages\, and two identities has shaped the woma
 n\, mother\, and writer she has become. Moving from the legacy of violence
  in her hometown of Iguala\, Mexico\, to a bittersweet family vacation in 
 Europe spent reconciling her own impoverished past with her children&rsquo
 \;s world of abundance\, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of
  survival.</p>\n<p>Whether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderla
 nds or finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden\, Grande unf
 linchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we h
 ave become? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to defin
 e us\, how can we use story to heal while still honoring our boundaries?</
