Ana Moreira is twelve years old. She loves to watch movies, attend ballet classes, and go to parties with friends. She lives in Cuba, an island only ninety miles from the coast of Florida. This book shows what life is like today for a young person in that country. Ana lives in Havana, the capital city, with its crowded buses, long lines outside stores, and stately but dilapidated buildings. In photos and text, readers can catch intimate glimpses of Ana's home, her family, and her life at school or ballet class.

Bernard Wolf is one of the few American journalists who have traveled to Cuba recently to take photographs there. The result is a spectacular collection of images of places and people. With his camera, he has captured the unquenchable spirit of a people whose loyalty and love for their homeland have never wavered.
