A Dream Called Home coming this Fall!
I’m thrilled to announce that the sequel to The Distance Between Us is done and ready for publication. It will hit bookstores on October 2, 2018. Thank you to all who encouraged me to write this book. A Dream Called Home picks up where the other leaves off–my arrival at UC Santa Cruz, ready to pursue my dreams of being the first in my family to obtain a university degree and becoming a writer. I am grateful for the great reviews the book has already gotten!
“Reyna Grande’s A Dream Called Home is a moving memoir about building a family, becoming a writer, and redefining America. Writers in need of inspiration should read this book.” (Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author of The Sympathizer)
“A Dream Called Home is a deeply moving, beautifully written portrait of a young woman’s journey to her own best life against the odds. Reyna Grande is a national treasure; her vision is not only singular, but essential to our contemporary culture. This is a beacon of a book.” (Carolina De Robertis, award-winning author of The Gods of Tango )
“Writers like Reyna Grande give us more than a story, more than a book, more than just a slice of their experience or their imagination; they give us a world in which to dwell, a place we can always return to when we need to make sense of the chaos that surrounds us. A Dream Called Home is such a place.” (Valeria Luiselli, award-winning author of Tell Me How It Ends)
“Reyna Grande is a fearless writer and a tireless warrior for the unrepresented and silenced. Her power is growing with every book.” (Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Devil’s Highway)
“Reyna Grande’s march towards her brilliant career astonishes me. She makes seemingly-disastrous choices, but bobs and floats through as buoyant as cork. Her mistakes are familiar, but her recovery is unique. Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true.” (Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Street )
