Through her brutally honest firsthand account of growing up in Mexico without her parents, Grande sheds light on the often overlooked consequence of immigrationthe disintegration of a family. Author: Sonia Nazario, Pulitzer Prize winner, and author of Enrique's JourneyAward-winning novelist (Across a Hundred Mountains) Grande captivates and inspires in her memoir. Raised in Mexico in brutal poverty during the 1980s, four-year-old Grande and her two siblings lived with their cruel grandmother after both parents departed for the U.S. in search of work.

Yet life on the other side of the border was not what Grande imagined: her fathers new girlfriends indifference to the three children becomes more than apparent. Though Grandes father continually stressed the importance of his children obtaining an education, his drinking resulted in violence, abuse, and family chaos. Surrounded by family turmoil, Grande discovered a love of writing and found solace in library books, and she eventually graduated from high school and went on to become the first person in her family to graduate from college.

The American story of the new millennium is the story of the Latino immigrant, yet how often has the story been told by the immigrant herself? What makes Grandes beautiful memoir all the more extraordinary is that, through this heros journey, she speaks for millions of immigrants whose voices have gone unheard. Author: Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango StreetThe sadness at the heart of Grandes story is unrelenting; this is the opposite of a light summer read. But thats OK, because . . . this book should have a long shelf life. Source: SlateA timely and a vivid exa
