Ellen O’Connell, White Plains resident and retired English teacher, will moderate a discussion of The Distance Between Us (2013), a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist, by Reyna Grande, novelist, motivational speaker, and writing teacher. Publishers Weekly calls this a “poignant memoir about her childhood in Mexico... Reyna Grande skillfully depicts another side of the immigrant experience — the hardships and heartbreaks of the children.” The biography is available in our physical collection. OverDrive/Libby has both the eBook and digital audiobook.
