Art, exile, and environmental action

A hurricane brings Soleida’s family’s hidden sculpture garden to light, setting in motion a story that connects political repression in Cuba with environmental advocacy. After her artist parents are arrested, Soleida escapes to Central America, where she meets Dariel, a Cuban American boy. Their shared efforts link the fate of the imprisoned artists to a broader concern for protecting the natural world. The premise brings together family separation, migration, art, and activism across a Cuban and Central American context.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about environmental protection and activism.
  • Readers interested in stories involving Cuba, migration, and political repression.
