About this listen

 From the award-winning author of Waiting on Zapote Street comes another unforgettable epic of resilience, exile, and identity. Nine years after Fidel Castro's rise to power, young Rodolfo Hernandez is forced to leave Cuba and embark on a solo journey to the United States. What awaits him in Miami is far more complex than he imagined, beginning with his estranged uncle Arturo, a man burdened by a mysterious past and a hardened heart.

As Rodolfo enters twelfth grade at Miami High, he meets Lissy, a brilliant girl with oversized glasses and a quiet resolve who offers to help him adapt to his new life, language, and culture. But Rodolfo finds himself overwhelmed—not only by the challenges of immigration and assimilation, but by the tumultuous landscape of the Vietnam War and disturbing news from back home in Cuba.

Misreading Lissy’s intentions becomes one of his deepest regrets, a mistake he doesn’t fully understand until it threatens to cost him everything. Lissy holds the key to his future, to his decision to return to Cuba. The mysteries about his parents’ lives can only be unraveled by his return.
