About This Book

Journey through Cuba's revolutionary history as seen through the eyes of Joaquín Ortega, a passionate dreamer and civil engineering professor. Alongside his activist friends, he faces the hope and heartbreak of fighting for change, witnessing some rise to power, others flee into exile, and many confronting the harsh realities of a corrupted regime. Told through a unique blend of personal monologues, this story captures the spirit and struggles of a generation shaped by revolution.
