Cuba-Lights Out: A Cuban Memoir of Betrayal and Survival

A blog dedicated to shed light on Cuba before Fidel Castro.

There was no stopping prosperity in Cuba. All she had was 50 years. Imagine if Fidel had kept his promises…..

There was no stopping this precious pearl. She was on a roll to prosperity that couldn’t be stopped. Then came Fidel.

Welcome! I am glad you stopped by. I welcome your comments.

Lights Out: A Cuban Memoir: BIO I was born in 1958 in Holguín, the City of Parks, Oriente, Cuba, the year the Cuban Revolution drove Batista from power. I lived in Cuba during Fidel Castro’s hijacking of the Cuban government, his brutal consolidation of power, and his ill-advised and disastrous takeover of all private business. In 1970, at age twelve, with my parents and only a few other relatives, I immigrated to the United States on a U.S.–sponsored Freedom Flight. A proud Cuban-American and hockey mom who hates snow, I live with my husband, Tony, and son, Anthony, in Rochester, New York, my home since arriving in the United States.
