Virtual Author Talk with Reyna Grande

Event Details

Scotch Plains Public Library, 1927 Bartle Ave, Scotch Plains, NJ, 07076

Join us via the Scotch Plains Public Library on Thursday, July 16th at 2:00pm for a virtual author talk with bestselling author Reyna Grande.  In her ambitious new memoir, Migrant Heart: Essays About Things I Can’t Forget, beloved author Reyna Grande illuminates the hidden cost of the American Dream and the complex journey of healing that follows survival.

With 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.

Register today for this virtual talk if you identify as a seeker, a dreamer, or “anyone who believes in the enduring, transformative power of finding one’s voice.”

Reyna Grande is an award-winning author, motivational speaker, and writing teacher. As a young girl, she crossed the US–Mexico border to join her family in Los Angeles, a harrowing journey chronicled in The Distance Between Us, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist.

For more information or to register, go to www.scotchplainslibrary.org, email library@scotchplainslibrary.org or call (908) 322-5007 x 204. The Scotch Plains Public Library is located at 1927 Bartle Avenue.
