(�New York Times reporter Mirta Ojito melds the personal with the political in a moving account of her family�s departure from Cuba.� �People

In this unforgettable memoir, Pulitzer Prize�winning journalist Mirta Ojito travels back twenty-five years to the event that brought her and 125,000 of her fellow Cubans to America: the 1980 mass exodus known as the Mariel boatlift. As she tracks down the long-forgotten individuals whose singular actions that year profoundly affected thousands on both sides of the Florida straits, she offers a mesmerizing glimpse behind Cuba�s iron curtain�and recalls the reality of being a sixteen-year-old torn between her family�s thirst for freedom and a revolution that demanded absolute loyalty. Recounting an immensely important chapter in the ever-evolving relationship between America and its neighbor to the south, Finding Ma�ana is a major triumph by one of our finest journalists.

�In this wonderful memoir, Ojito ransoms herself from the seductions of nostalgia and reclaims instead the beleageured Cuba of her childhood.�
