Eire's National Book Award-winning memoir recounts his childhood in Havana and his arrival in Miami as one of the 14,000 unaccompanied children airlifted out of Cuba in Operation Pedro Pan. The book captures the dislocation, grief, and resilience of the exile experience that shaped Miami's Cuban-American community — essential context for understanding Little Havana and the culture that built the city.
