About the Book
‘Cuba in 1965 was no longer the paradise it had once been…There was, literally, nowhere else to go but out.’ So says The Shoebox Child, one of the many exiled voices in Cuban, That’s All!
Listen to the stories of assimilation as you travel from 1959 to the world of today’s Cuban exiles.
Hear the voices of Camarioca, the Freedom Flights, Operacion Pedro Pan, the Mariel Boatlift and today with the pathos, humor and honesty that only Cubans can bring to their repatriation experience.
Laugh with Mayflower Mary as she tells you about her Cubano husband; Cry with Luisito Dolor, a gay, Mariel boatlift refugee who spent time in a Cuban prison; meet all the voices as they embark with you on their journey toward their new homeland.
