The smell of wet grass filled the dark night. Luisito picked his way along the path by the light of the full moon, the only sound the squashing of mud beneath his feet. He was on the run.
Imagine a world where the government controls how much you can eat, where you can go, even what you’re allowed to believe. This is the world of Luis Jemot … but it’s about to change.
As Luis enjoys his new life in the United States, he can’t help fearing for the safety of his grandmother, left behind in Cuba. What risks is she taking? Will Luis be able to fulfill his promise to her?
All the while, his every move is still being watched …
