Eduardo F. Calcines was a child of Fidel Castro's Cuba; he was just
three years old when Castro came to power in January 1959. After
that, everything changed for his family and his country. When he
was ten, his family applied for an exit visa to emigrate to America
and he was ridiculed by his schoolmates and even his teachers for
being a traitor to his country. But even worse, his father was sent
to an agricultural reform camp to do hard labor as punishment for
daring to want to leave Cuba. During the years to come, as he grew
up in Glorytown, a neighborhood in the city of Cienfuegos, Eduardo
hoped with all his might that their exit visa would be granted
before he turned fifteen, the age at which he would be drafted into
the army.
In this absorbing memoir, by turns humorous and heartbreaking,
Eduardo Calcines recounts his boyhood and chronicles the conditions
that led him to wish above all else to leave behind his beloved
extended family and his home for a chance at a better future.
