      abstract = {When Reyna Grande's father leaves his wife and three  children behind in a village in Mexico to make the  dangerous trek across the border to the United States, he  promises he will soon return from "El Otro Lado" (The Other  Side) with enough money to build them a dream house where  they can all live together. His promises become harder to  believe as months turn into years. When he summons his wife  to join him, Reyna and her siblings are deposited in the  already overburdened household of their stern, unsmiling  grandmother. The three siblings are forced to look out for  themselves; in childish games they find a way to forget the  pain of abandonment and learn to solve very adult problems.  When their mother at last returns, the reunion sets the  stage for a dramatic new chapter in Reyna's young life: her  own journey to "El Otro Lado" to live with the man who has  haunted her imagination for years, her long-absent father.  -- Jacket, p.
