About this ebook
From the award-winning author of "Waiting on Zapote Street," winner of the Latino Books Into Movies award. This epic tale, based on true events, transports readers to the province of Camagüey, in the Cuban heartland. In 1955, the seeds of Castro's revolution will lead a small town’s inhabitants to witness a radical change to their customs and their way of life. The town, Arroyo Blanco (White Creek), known for the creeks that run through its core, filling it with life, is destined to be erased by time and politics. Madeline, a young girl swept up by political and social upheaval struggles for survival and to protect everything she knows. Will Madeline find love and fulfillment, or will forces beyond her control sweep away all remnants of who she is?
