Cuba: the Trip Back: an Exile's Journey Through Today's Cuba Rafael Lima

Rafael Lima begins this journey to the center of himself in Los Angeles, California. A burned out screenwriter in search of inner truth he embarks upon a quest for authenticity which ultimately leads him back to his birthplace - Havana Cuba - after almost forty two years. Cuba the trip back is part travel book, part memoir and part autobiography. It is a journey through modern day Cuba which interlaces Cuban and the author's own personal history. In this heart-felt book Rafael Lima explores the island, slays the demons of regret, makes real the legends of childhood and discovers what it means to be Cuban, what it means to be American and what it feels like to exist in between.
