Middle School Mother and Daughter Book Club June 5, 2008
The new Middle School Mother and Daughter Book Club will have it’s first meeting on Wednesday, June 25th at 7:00pm. Our first selection, Flight to Freedom by Ana Veciana-Suarez is available in the church library or from the public library.
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.
Synopsis from BarnesandNoble.com
