SUMMARY:Author Talk: "Migrant Heart" with Reyna Grande
DESCRIPTION:In her ambitious new memoir\, Migrant Heart: Essays About 
 Things I Can’t Forget\, beloved bestselling author Reyna Grande 
 illuminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and the complex journey 
 of healing that follows survival.\n\nWhat is the true power of stories? Can 
 they heal the jagged edges of a traumatic childhood? Is the cost of telling 
 the story worth the price of the cure?\n\nWith her signature blend of 
 sophistication and raw honesty\, Grande interrogates how living between two 
 nations\, two languages\, and two identities has shaped the woman\, 
 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’s 
 world of abundance\, she uncovers startling truths about the nature of 
 survival.\n\nWhether being racially profiled in the Arizona borderlands or 
 finding unexpected wisdom from the slugs in her garden\, Grande 
 unflinchingly asks: How do we bridge the gap between who we were and who we 
 have become? How do we turn pain into power? When memory threatens to 
 define us\, how can we use story to heal while still honoring our 
 boundaries?\n\nRegister for this virtual Author Talk at
