Leaving Glorytown: One Boy's Struggle Under Castro

(3) YA The author's world was changed forever when Fidel Castro took control of Cuba in 1959. Full of ruminations on life and human nature, Calcines's memoir recounts both the joys of his childhood and the brutalities of everyday life under Castro's rule. Calcines's anger drives his text, but ultimately this is a stirring story of hope.
