(3) YA This book takes a humane look at the experiences of children who have left Castro's Cuba, from the thousands smuggled into the United States in Operation Pedro Pan in the 1960s to Elian Gonzalez. The rich narrative, which features interviews with Cuban immigrants and black-and-white photos of refugees, often in transit, emphasizes the emotional costs of freedom, particularly separation from one's family. Bib., ind.
