The Pedro Pan Girls: Seeking Closure

From the author of the award-winning "Waiting on Zapote Street" comes another story that will pull at the reader's heart strings. In 1961, Olivia and Clarisa become part of an exodus that brings over 14, 000 unaccompanied Cuban children to the United States: Operation Pedro Pan. What should have been a short separation from their parents will mark the transformation of their lives. Fifty-five years later, they go back to Cuba.
Will they find the closure they so desperately seek? In addition to the novel, this book includes pictures of several Pedro Pan children, including two celebrities who kindly agreed to have their information included, the talented author and Yale professor Carlos Eire and the mega-star singer Willy Chirino. To honor some of the children, the author included the names of over 110 Pedro Pan children who granted the author permission to publish them, as well as ages, dates they left Cuba, and the time separated from their parents.
Some never saw their parents again.
