Dancing With Butterflies, Reyna Grande's latest novel, is finally out and the author is going on tour! Don't miss out your chance to meet this young talented author and have your copy autographed.

Advance Praise forDancing with Butterflies

"Grande's lyrical and sensual follow-up to her stunning Across a Hundred Mountains (2006) is well worth the wait. This time out, there is still the poignant intimacy of the Mexican immigrant experience, but it's richly layered into the lives of four women who discover that their passion for the vibrant tradition of Folklórico dancing binds them to their pasts, futures, and one another as each faces her own test of love and loyalty."

~ Publisher’s Weekly, STARRED Review

"Absorbing arcana about butterflies and Folklórico traditions, descriptions of food way beyond burritos, not to mention an unflinching depiction of the immigration debacle’s personal toll, underscore the fierce humanity of these wise-Latinas-in-training." ~Kirkus Review
