Guajira, the Cuba girl - Paperback

by Zita Arocha (Author)

On the eve of leaving Cuba for Florida, a four-year-old girl promises her dying grandfather to return to her birthplace. That night an intruder sexually assaults her. As she adapts to her new American reality, she suffers distressing physical and emotional symptoms. Convinced that her daughter is possessed, her mother takes her to a Santeria priest for a cure. Years later, she returns to her homeland as a journalist, becomes entrapped in the game of espionage between Cuba and the U.S., suffers a devastating betrayal, and learns family secrets. Disillusioned by the experience, she embarks on a spiritual journey that leads to reconciliation, forgiveness, and a return to wholeness.
