Ana Hebra Flaster was six years old when her working-class family was kicked out of their Havana barrio for opposing communism. Once devoted revolutionaries themselves but disillusioned by the Castro government&rsquo\;s repressive tactics\, they fled to the US. The permanent losses they suffered&mdash\;of home\, country\, and loved ones\, all within forty-eight hours&mdash\;haunted her multigenerational family as they reclaimed their lives and freedom in 1967 New Hampshire. There\, they fed each other stories of their scrappy barrio&mdash\;some of which Hebra Flaster has shared on \;All Things Considered&mdash\;to resurrect their lost world and fortify themselves for a daunting task: building a new life in a foreign land.

\n\n

Come to the Athenaeum and hear her story of how the fiercest love\, the most stubborn will\, and the power of family put nine new Americans back on their feet.
