DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst Person Fiction is dedicated to the immigrant experience in modern America. "Flight to Freedom" is closely based on Suarez's own story of leaving Cuba during the Freedom Flights of the 1960s. Yara Garcia and her family live a middle-class life in Havana, Cuba. But in 1967, as Communist ruler Fidel Castro tightens his hold on Cuba, the Garcias, who do not share the political beliefs of the Communist Party, are forced to flee to Miami, Florida. There, Yara encounters a strange land with foreign customs. She knows very little English, and she finds that the other students in her new school have much more freedom than she and her sisters. Tension develops between her parents, as Mami grows more independent and Papi joins a militant anti-Castro organization.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs a poor farmer’s wife, our mother knew what it was to rise early in the morning with a song of praise to God upon her lips and, upon retiring at night, to give thanks to God for the strength to endure. To each of you here, I would like to touch your memory of our mother. Although it is not necessary, our mother deserves a bit of commendation for the way she cooperated with her Creator.
