The Incomplete Traveler

About the Book

The Incomplete Traveler is a human story of strength and grit in the face of a series of historical events that lead to the loss of a homeland, and the need to adapt to life in exile. The history of the Fidel Castro revolution, along with the events that preceded it, is woven throughout the experiences of the book’s main character, Elena, her family, and friends. Survival is the thread that holds the story together, as Elena faces her circumstances with humor and acceptance. An important contribution of the book is to connect future generations of Cuban exiles to the historical and emotional roots of their ancestors.
