Story
“A story that encompasses a lifetime. It is rich in imagery and sometimes light and funny, despite the seriousness of the backdrop of a Cuba still in chains.” Susana Jiménez-Mueller, international podcaster of The Green Plantain – The Cuban Series Project and author of Now I Swim. “An amazing story that spans decades. It takes readers on a roller coaster ride of highs and lows and keeps them wanting to know what's around the corner. Then, when the ride seems to end, there's one last surprise waiting.” Conchita Hernández Hicks, author of Leaving Havana. An engrossing tale, funny ...

Story
From the author of the award-winning Waiting on Zapote Street comes a story based on true events.
