Non-Fiction Memoir
In this unforgettable memoir, Pulitzer Prize–winning
journalist Mirta Ojito travels back twenty-five years to the
event that brought her and 125,000 of her fellow Cubans to
America: the 1980 mass exodus known as the Mariel boatlift.
As she tracks down the long-forgotten individuals whose
singular actions that year profoundly affected thousands on
both sides of the Florida straits, she offers a mesmerizing
glimpse behind Cuba’s iron curtain—and recalls the reality
of being a sixteen-year-old torn between her family’s thirst
for freedom and a revolution that demanded absolute loyalty.
Recounting an immensely important chapter in the
ever-evolving relationship between America and its neighbor
to the south, Finding Mañana is a major triumph by one of
our finest journalists.
