About this audiobook

After the death of her beloved grandmother, a Cuban American woman travels to Havana, where she discovers the roots of her identity—and unearths a family secret hidden since the revolution.

Havana, 1958. The daughter of a sugar baron, nineteen-year-old Elisa Perez is part of Cuba’s high society, where she is largely sheltered from the country’s growing political unrest—until she embarks on a clandestine affair with a passionate revolutionary ...

Miami, 2017. Freelance writer Marisol Ferrera grew up hearing romantic stories of Cuba from her late grandmother Elisa, who was forced to flee with her family during the revolution. Elisa’s last wish was for Marisol to scatter her ashes in the country of her birth.

Arriving in Havana, Marisol comes face-to-face with the contrast of Cuba’s tropical, timeless beauty and its perilous political climate. When more family history comes to light and Marisol finds herself attracted to a man with secrets of his own, she’ll need the lessons of her grandmother’s past to help her understand the true meaning of courage.

Ratings and reviews

I was reading this book and paid for it, now it's gone and telling me I have to pay for it when I already did awhile ago. this is not a book that I purchased recently, it's been over a year, I just haven't had the time to pick it up again. Please return my book so that I can continue reading it at my own pace and whenever I want to. thank you

For being Cuban American myself with little known about my roots in Cuba this book made me feel connected. I also loved the romance this book offered. I absolutely couldn't stop listening to this book. Would reccommend.

Can't wait for her next book...
