Poet Rigoberto Gonzalez on Reyna Grande


“With honesty and grace, Grande drowns out the unflattering sound bytes that have plagued the undocumented community’s stories and writes a poignant memoir about finding safety and salvation in the artistic path. Hers is an insider’s tale of the hard-won American dream, sympathetic to the uninformed and sometimes detrimental choices that people make as they pursue that dream. The Distance Between Us is a proud and timely achievement, a distinguished leader in the effort to give full dimensionality to a population relegated to the margins of American society.”
