Cuando la fallida invasión de Bahía de Cochinos en 1961 fortalece el poder de Castro en Cuba, la familia de Cumba, de doce años, toma la dolorosa decisión de enviarlo solo a la Florida. Aferrado a los recuerdos del clarinete de su padre y el perfume de lavanda de su madre, Cumba debe enfrentar solo un nuevo país, un nuevo idioma y una nueva escuela. Mientras gana confianza en su nuevo entorno, no deja de preguntarse si su familia volverá a reunirse, o si las noventa millas que los separan serán imposibles de cruzar. Una emotiva novela histórica sobre resiliencia e identidad.

English Translation

Cuba in My Pocket

When the failed of Pigs invasion strengthens Castro's grip on Cuba in 1961, twelve-year-old Cumba's family makes the wrenching decision to send him alone to Florida. Clutching memories of his father's clarinet and his mother's lavender perfume, Cumba must navigate a new country, language, and school entirely on his own. As he grows more confident in his unfamiliar surroundings, he can't stop wondering whether his family will ever be reunited—or if the ninety miles between them will remain impossible to cross. A moving historical novel about resilience, identity, and the immigrant experience.
