Vuelo a la Libertad/Flight to Freedom Relatos en Primera Persona/First Person Fiction

Yara Garcia and her family live a middle-class life in Havana, Cuba. But in 1967, as Communist ruler Fidel Castro tightens his hold on Cuba, the Garcias, who do not share the political beliefs of the Communist Party, are forced to flee to Miami, Florida. There, Yara encounters a strange land with foreign customs. She knows very little English, and she finds that the other students in her new school have much more freedom than she and her sisters. Tension develops between her parents, as Mami grows more independent and Papi joins a militant anti-Castro organization.Veciana-Suarez, Ana is the author of 'Vuelo a la Libertad/Flight to Freedom Relatos en Primera Persona/First Person Fiction' with ISBN 9780439382007 and ISBN 0439382009.
