Overview

"This family memoir is a multigenerational story of the aspirations that moved my grandmother's family up and onward, through alternating episodes of opportunities and challenges, and out of one country into another. Events are told in a series of episodes that flow chronologically, beginning with my greatgrandmother's childhood and her marriage at seventeen. Each episode covers significant events in the lives of my great-grandmother and grandmother and includes anecdotal information about the surrounding society at the time. The episodes move from Cienfuegos, Cuba—in the first years of the twentieth century, and end in the first years of the twenty-first century in Miami." --Abstract.
