(3) 4-6 Years after the Communist Revolution in 1961 Cuba, fourteen-year-old Lucía's parents send her and her younger brother Frankie to America to wait out Castro's increasingly rigid new government. Sprinkled with Spanish, Lucía's impassioned first-person narration ably reflects her struggles to adjust to a new culture while wondering if she will ever return to the home and parents she loves. Glos.
