While I found this book to be a little disorganized those feelings helped with the understanding of what it must have been like for the country you call your home to change in the blink of an eye. The women in this graphic novel did not have foolproof escape plans, they were reacting to their circumstances using the resources they had available. The difference between Batista and Castro's Cuba was immediately felt with dire consequences for some of those caught in the crossfire.

Alex de Campi and Victor Santos created a tangible world through dialogue and art. The bright colours, the conversations in Spanish, and the stark contrast between the Cuba of the revolutionaries and those who used and abused the system for their own gains. There is still much to be learned from the Cuban revolution and this book gives the reader a look into the lives of four women caught in the middle.
