Alejandro’s Journey

In the shadow of Castro’s revolution, young Alejandro Ramirez watches the only world he knows come apart.

Alejandro’s Journey is the story of his crossing: from 1950s Cuba to the United States, and into the long work of building a new life.

Inspired by the real experiences of Cuban exiles, the novel follows Alejandro from the turbulent 1950s to the mid-2020s. Real turning points in Cuban and American history set the ground under his feet. The events are documented. The man living through them is fiction.
