"My book Lucky Broken Girl is based on a true story, something that really happened to me. Me and my family had just arrived to NY in the ‘60s from Cuba, fleeing communism and we were just getting settled, adapted, I was learning English, and we were adjusting with difficulties but we were adjusting to our new life, a new language, a new culture."
