Memoir of one of the 14,000 Cuban children airlifted to the U.S. in the early Castro days (early 1960's). Sacrificed by their parents so that they could be "free," the children were placed into foster homes, orphanages and/or with very distant relatives. This was informative as to the experiences of one boy (who became quite successful) and his brother, but I found the writing terrible, especially toward the middle to end. I don't require books to be linear, but this one jumped around so much so that often I had no idea where we were in time. In a few short pages, I counted about 11 paragraphs starting with "Whoosh...," meaning we were going someplace else and it wasn't explained. Another favorite of his was "Fast Forward." Unfortunately these shifts were confusing because they weren't developed properly.
