Enchanted air two cultures, two wings : a memoir

Enchanted Air FLIGHT The first time my parents take me soaring through magical sky to meet my mother's family in Cuba, I am so little that I can hardly speak to my island relatives-- my abuelita, my old grandma, who still loves to dance, and her ancient mamá, my great-grandma, who still loves to garden, working just as hard as any strong young man. Already, this island is beginning to seem like a fairy-tale kingdom, where ordinary people do impossible things.
