Novela necesaria
La distancia entre nosotros es un libro realmente conmovedor, es triste, es esperanzador, es todo emociones...Descripciones que te parten el alma, que te hacen llorar, que te rompen por la mitad,pero que te aportan un halo de esperanza.Reyna Grande me ha enamorado por su escritura, por su valentía a la hora de contar todo lo que guardaba dentro y plasmarlo entre estas páginas.Es un libro muy necesario,recomendable y sería un buen ejercicio que se lea en todos los colegios, institutos e universidades del mundo.

Persigue tus sueños
Me gustó mucho la manera de contar las cosas, debo decir que lloré en algunos capítulos y que sin duda creo que el lugar donde estamos es precisamente donde debemos estar..y que sin las dificultades de la vida no seríamos quienes somos. Mi admiración para la autora.

Catching the American dream
This book was a very good account of a young girl and her family caught on both sides of the border and the struggles they face when they choose to live a better more beautiful life on "the other side". Written in a simple almost spoken style, it is a great way to practice reading in Spanish while also deepening one's knowledge of Mexican life in a small impoverished village called Iguala in the Mexican state of Guerrero. The second part is an account of how the same family emigrates to the US with the help of a coyote and the struggles they face trying to make it in Los Angeles. I thought that the end was cut a bit short and could have included more détails about how the girl (the author) succeeds in her career and personal life.

Conmovedora historia
La autora escribe de una manera clara, natural y honesta. No podía dejar de leer. La historia me conmovió, pues aunque yo no he tenido la necesidad de emigrar al otro lado, la vida de Reyna en México, me recordó mi infancia, que aunque en condiciones diferentes, comparti mos una misma cultura. Es una historia que me hizo llorar y valorar todo lo que he tenido y a la vez poder entender a todos esos migrantes, sus ganas de salir adelante y su busqueda del sueño americano. Una historia verdadera que incluye fotos . Me encantó esta novela. Gracias Reyna por compartir tan clara y honestamente tu experiencia.

Add to your understanding of immigration
I loved this book which I bought for an adult Spanish conversation group. Well written memoir of the author's experiences growing up both in Mexico and in the US, as well as the dangerous crossing of the border.

Read this in a Mexican American literature course and fell in love! I bought my mom the Spanish version for Mother’s Day and she loved it just as much!

A poignant and informative autobiography.
This autobiography in Spanish is poignant, entertaining and educational. It's a co-incidence that the town of Igual, whee Reyna Grande spent her early years, is the same town where more than 20 students were murdered. You''ll gain an understanding of how poor the small, remote and rural areas of Mexico are, and why residents are so desperate to come to the US.

Una historia de victoria sobre la maldad....
La historia verdadera de una familia separada por sus retos financiales. Tambien, una a historia de abuso, de tristeza, de esperanza y finalmente de exito. Si no gana el Premio de Pulitzer, me dara una gran sorpresa. Es una inspiracion para todos.
