A Dream Called Home
From bestselling author Reyna Grande—whose remarkable memoir, The Distance Between Us, has become required reading in schools across the country—comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time.
Told in Reyna’s exquisite, heartfelt prose, A Dream Called Home demonstrates how, by daring to pursue her dreams, Reyna was able to build the one thing she had always longed for: a home that would endure.
“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 )
