When six-year-old Gabriella hears talk of Castro and revolution in her home in Cuba, she doesn't understand. Soon the day comes when she and her parents move to a new place called the Bronx. Life isn't the same. It isn't warm like Havana. They have something called "snow" and food called "hot dogs" and "macaroni." What will it take for the Bronx to feel like home? Inspired by the author's childhood, this story of the immigrant experience for a child is poignant, tender, and true.
