La revolución arrancó de raíz a Cecilia, con apenas seis años, de su cómodo hogar de clase media en Cuba y la plantó en el vecindario de bajos recursos de la Pequeña Habana en Miami.Su padre mujeriego se enfocó en reconstruir su carrera, persiguiendo la promesa americana de riquezas y liberación del pasado. Su madre cayó en el precipicio de la locura tratando de mantener a la familia unida y recuperar a su marido. Desatendida y atrapada, Cecilia se rebeló en contra de su cultura conservadora y adoptó la contracultura de 1960 -buscando amor, atención y un lugar propio en los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, los hijos de los inmigrantes prosperan o se autodestruyen en nuevas tierras. ¿Cómo va a lograr Cecilia vencer las probabilidades?Mientras que la mayoría de las autobiografías cubanoamericanas giran en torno a escenas de la infancia en Cuba y exploran las experiencias de hombres jóvenes, Adiós, Mi Pequeña Habana, es la primera en enfocarse en una niña cubana creciendo en los Estados Unidos, enfrentándose a los obstáculos y despejando el camino para cumplir sus sueños.
