Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy by Carlos Eire

[Cyndy]

Mr. Eire immigrated with his brother as a child from Cuba after Castro took power. The book covers his memories of growing up in Cuba, the move (without their parents) to Miami, and then to Chicago when their mother came to the states. His father, a judge, chose to stay in Cuba. It was a difficult immigration for both of the brothers and there continue to be issues - most likely because their father chose Cuba, an antique collection, and an adopted son over his two biological sons. It was an interesting book, but the style was more of a journal or someone speaking. If incomplete and run-on sentences bother you, be prepared.
