This autobiography is a unique collection of narratives describing what it was like growing up in Cuba in the late 1970's and 1980's, told by someone who knew no other life other than one shaped by Fidel Castro. These candid observations visualize life in Cuba as well as immigration to the United States in a unique perspective which is both heartwarming as well as eye-opening. The reader is able to share the author's childhood memories of life in southeastern Cuba, being sent by the Cuban government to Honduras, making the dangerous journey across Mexico to the United States, and experiencing life in both Miami and the American Midwest.
