The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez

Good telling of a teenage girl and her younger brother who had to leave Cuba in 1961, to flee from the impact of the Revolution, without their parents. They were two of over thousands of children that were assisted out of Cuba at that time because their parents did not want them to forced to join the Brigades of the Revolution. This is one of many stories where the children were sent to America (they settled into Nebraska through churches and people who opened up their homes out of love and compassion).
