Reyna Grande spent the first years of her childhood longing for her father - a man she only remembered through pictures - to return after he decided to make the dangerous trek across the Mexican border in pursuit of work in America. He was determined to make enough money to build a dream home for his family.
But when things didn’t go quite as planned, Reyna found herself preparing for her own challenging and dangerous journey to El Oreo Lado to live with the man who had haunted her imagination for years: her long-absent father. In this compelling middle-grade adaptation of her autobiography, Reyna beautifully captures the struggle her family endured in their new life in the United States, and how books and writing helped save her during the most difficult times.
Both funny and heartbreaking, Reyna’s story is one of hope and love, and an exploration of complicated family bonds that won’t break, no matter the distance.
