Over 14,000 children comprised the exodus of unaccompanied minors
from Cuba soon after the Cuban Revolution of 1959. I was one of
those children, I was one of the youngest at age 6. This is my true
story, as told through the eyes of a child. The story is described
chronologically, starting with our affluent life in Havana, then
upon being exiled, how I wound up at a cloistered convent for
orphans where physical abuse was as much a part of the rituals as
praying. When authorities closed the convent I was adopted by a
large family for many laborious years until my parents escaped from
Cuba. Though reunited at last, painfully difficult years followed
as we attempted in vain to become a family once again. The many
years of separation from my parents and abuse forged the basis for
a life of both abandonment and success.
