Description

This poignant and often humorous collection follows Cuban immigrants as they build new lives in Miami while carrying the memories, customs, and losses of the homeland they left behind. Through interwoven stories of family, friendship, love, and displacement, it explores the complicated nature of exile and the ways people preserve identity across generations. Blending vivid storytelling with understated wit and emotional insight, the book offers an intimate portrait of the Cuban-American experience and the enduring pull of memory.
