 ></p>\n<p>About the Book:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In this sweeping\, historical\, y
 et intimate memoir\, the author details her family&rsquo\;s transformation
  from pro-Castro revolutionaries in a scrappy Havana barrio to refugees in
  a New Hampshire mill town&mdash\;a timeless and timely tale of loss and r
 einvention. She reveals how the strong-willed Latinas in her family wove s
 tories of their beloved barrio and Cuba into daily life\, creating a new o
 rigin story of triumph over communism and corruption. Property of the Revo
 lution celebrates the resilience of the immigrant spirit as a whole\, whil
 e honestly portraying the enormous challenges and complexities of cultural
  assimilation and identity formation\, as well as illustrating how the jou
 rney of refugee-dom never truly ends.</p>\n<p>About the author:&nbsp\;</p>
