Cecilia M. Fernandez

4.9/5 (32246 ratings)

Description:This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers.Thirty years after escaping communist Cuba, Adela, a Miami seamstress, scans the news on TV for a familiar face. There’s one in particular she’s looking for: Raimundo, a lover from her youth. She’d begged him to go with her to the United States, but he’d refused to abandon the socialist revolution he’d thought would transform Cuba into a democratic nation.Now, a “dry foot, wet foot” immigration policy changes everything. For a brief period, rafters caught at sea are returned to the island—but anyone who makes it past the Coast Guard and sets foot on American soil is allowed to stay. Raimundo, by this point hopeless about his homeland and desperate for freedom, will attempt to take part in a mass exodus toward Florida’s shores. But for the couple to reunite, he must survive shark-infested waters. And she must recognize his face, masked with age, to find him among all those seeking refuge.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
