In the summer of 2012, the author returned to his native Cuba to retrieve his birth certificate after an absence of 50 years (for the first 24 of which he lived in the United States). This memoir of his journey of personal and political discovery illuminates how the two countries--90 miles apart yet opposites on the political spectrum--have both lost their way in the misguided pursuit of their divergent ideologies. The author presents a candid view of the revolution and U.S.-Cuban relations through conversations with everyday Havanans.
