    About this ebook

    The story of a Cuban refugee, one of very many that has made the transition to become American.
    A first-hand account of the plight faced by a young woman when she had no choice but leave her country as part of the Cuban exodus. The story delves into life in Cuba before the revolution and the traumatic months before her departure from the island. In A Cuban Refugee, the author also describes living in New York, her adjustment to the American way of life, and her romantic experiences.
    The story takes the reader not only to the Cuba of the past, but also to Europe and Africa.
