This is the riveting story of one's fmaily trip to Cuba. In 1998, the author was informed of his grandmother's terminal illness, whom he had not seen in over twenty years. Curious to unravel the mystery that for many years has enshrouded Cuba, he convinced his mother and aunt to accompany him and revisit their native land. This, part diary, part memoir, is based on this trip. We are taken to Santiago de Cuba and to Boniato, a small town on the outskirts of the city rumored to have been built atop an old Indian cemetery. Along the way, we meet colorful characters and eccentric family members set against a rich background of folklore, local color and politics.Reyes, Jorge is the author of 'Rediscovering Cuba A Personal Memoir', published 2001 under ISBN 9780595194575 and ISBN 0595194575.
