The Clone Wars animated series did a lot to turn Anakin from an annoying kid to a lovable and tragic hero, while turning the barely-there Padmé from just "the love interest" to an incredibly important figure in the large scheme of things. Sure, there was a whole trilogy devoted to how he turned to the Dark Side, but Anakin was but a small (if wildly important) linchpin in that story. Despite Darth Vader's status as one of the biggest villains in pop culture, we don't really know a lot about him. ![]() ![]() Again, she finds solace in words, holding fast to her vision of becoming a writer, only to discover she knows nothing about what it takes to make a career out of a dream. ![]() Taking refuge in words, Reyna’s love of reading and writing propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz.Īlthough her acceptance is a triumph, the actual experience of American college life is intimidating and unfamiliar for someone like Reyna, who is now estranged from her family and support system. “Here is a life story so unbelievable, it could only be true.” -Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of The House on Mango Streetįrom bestselling author of the remarkable memoir The Distance Between Us comes an inspiring account of one woman’s quest to find her place in America as a first-generation Latina university student and aspiring writer determined to build a new life for her family one fearless word at a time.Īs an immigrant in an unfamiliar country, with an indifferent mother and abusive father, Reyna had few resources at her disposal. ![]() ⚠️ This book will unfortunately be removed from the service on the 14th of May. ![]() ![]() At every crossroad these women face, readers are taken deeper into the heart of what it means to be a family."

Also, their encounter with cannibal witch wasn’t their fairy tale adventure, and it certainly wasn’t their last.
