Read the excerpt from Cristina Garcia's Dreaming in Cuban. I was only two years old when I left Cuba but I remember everything that's happened to me since I was a baby,
even word-for-word conversations. I was sitting in my grandmother's lap, playing with her drop pearl earrings,
when my mother told her we were leaving the country. Abuela Celia called her a traitor to the revolution. Mom
tried to pull me away but I clung to the Abuela and screamed at the top of my lungs. My grandfather came
running and said, "Celia, let the girl go. She belongs with Lourdes." This was the last time I saw her.
