Download Leaving Glorytown: One Boy's Struggle Under Castro AudioBook Free
Eduardo F. Calcines was a kid of Fidel Castro's Cuba; he was just three years old when Castro came to electric power in January 1959. After that, everything evolved for his family and his country. When he was ten, his family applied for an leave visa to emigrate to America and he was ridiculed by his schoolmates and even his educators for being a traitor to his country. But even worse, his father was delivered to an agricultural reform camp to do hard labor as abuse for daring to want to leave Cuba. Through the years to come, as he was raised in Glorytown, a area in metropolis of Cienfuegos, Eduardo hoped with all his might that their leave visa would be awarded before he switched fifteen, this at which he'd be drafted in to the army. Within this absorbing memoir, by turns funny and heartbreaking, Eduardo Calcines recounts his boyhood and chronicles the conditions that led him to wish most of all to leave behind his precious prolonged family and his home for a chance at an improved future.
