From Booklist:
One minute, Gretchen Van Nuys, teenage daughter of a U.S. sugar company executive, is recuperating in a hospital room overlooking the grandstand where Cuban president Batista greets his welcoming countrymen. The next, she is in the streets, desperately trying to reach her father in the aftermath of an assassination attempt on Batista. In the ensuing chaos, she is kidnapped by forces loyal to revolutionary leader Fidel Castro and for the next week remains their prisoner and pawn as she is held for ransom while the disorganized rebels determine what to do with her. Taken from one jungle outpost to another, Gretchen experiences extreme brutality and unbearable deprivation, afraid for her own life and the future of her country. But her physical wounds are nothing compared to the psychic injuries she sustains as she summons the courage to witness the history unfolding around her. In this sequel to Cuba on My Mind (2010), Wainwright continues to bring life essential events in the past of her native country, Cuba. --Carol Haggas
