Across A Hundred Mountains

Across a Hundred Mountains (2006) is the debut novel by author Reyna Grande. It tells the intertwined stories of two women (and their loved ones) who travel through countries and cultures to find family.

Here we read the tale of Juana’s journey through Mexico and the USA to find her father. This tale saddened me, for the hardships that the women go through are too real. Babies are stolen, fathers are lost, innocence is lost too soon. Juana and Adelina see too much of the harsh side of life, but they go on until they are forced to stop.
