Storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy takes you on her journey from Havana to Decatur.
Come along with popular storyteller and author Carmen Deedy on this journey through her childhood-a journey that takes Carmen from her island roots in Havana, Cuba, to small-town Southern life in Decatur, Georgia.
This collection of twelve stories, many of which have been heard on National Public Radio's "Weekend All Things Considered," introduces you to the wise and witty Agra clan and the hilarious, often poignant collision of cultures they experience when they leave their Cuban home and emigrate to the United States.
"The stories are fresh and funny, full of the warmth of loving family relationships. All have a wonderful Cuban flavor. Deedy has a velvety smooth voice.... her tone is warm and bubbly.... Without a doubt, this is a case where listening to stories is better than reading them."
