Description
In Another Sun is a lovely and eloquent look at one woman's journey towards, and away from, the American Dream. We follow its protagonist, the child of Mexican immigrants, through love and loss, career ascent and personal crisis. It's a specific and detailed story focused on one slice of the American experience; it's also a great general look at ambition and grace and identity, at the goals that shape our lives-only to leave us longing for something else.

Reviews
"In Another Sun tells the story of Vanessa Ochoa in a both urgent and unhurried voice, as she searches for a bridge between the known and the unknown in a too-short life. In chronicling her journey with grace and empathy, Auten shows how the American Dream, hatched in hope, can sour within a generation." -- Jeff Ewing, author of The Middle Ground: Stories
"William Auten's In Another Sun burns with haunting fire; it reminds us that our lives are often only truly experienced in fragments. We exist through the shards of our memories, through snippets of conversations, through what is and what could have been. Auten's prose thoughtfully explores the powerful notion that, perhaps above all, our heart's desire is simply to be known." -- Debbie Graber, author of Kevin Kramer Starts on Monday
"Auten's writing is lyrical, propulsive, and alive. In Another Sun is peopled with characters that will be familiar, but this is not a story you've read before. I was reminded of C.E. Morgan, and that is high praise. Read this book." -- Alex Higley, author of Old Open
"This story is a gift of words, strung together like beads on a twisting strand, leading us forward and backwards through Vanessa Ochoa's life. Her reflective journey is an ode to time and grace, a story of lives intersecting and loves lost, of treasured connections and faith restored. Beautifully rendered and mesmerizing, In Another Sun is a book to treasure." -- Alice Kaltman, author of Staggerwing and Wavehouse
