When the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 solidifies Castro's
power in Cuba, twelve-year-old Cumba's family makes the difficult
decision to send him to Florida alone. Faced with the prospect of
living in another country by himself, Cumba tries to remember the
sound of his father's clarinet and the smell of his mother's
lavender perfume. Life in the United States presents a whole new
set of challenges. Lost in a sea of English speakers, Cumba has to
navigate a new city, a new school, and new freedom all on his own.
With each day, Cumba feels more confident in his new surroundings,
but he continues to wonder: Will his family ever be whole again? Or
will they remain just out of reach, ninety miles across the sea?
