Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1960 to 1962, 14,048 Cuban minors arrived in Miami. Maria de los Angeles Torres was six years old when she took part in this massive airlift -- now known as Operation Pedro Pan -- in which terrified parents shipped their children to the United States. Torres examines the event from both a historical and a personal perspective. Called a "relentless investigator of history" (Miami Herald), she forces declassification of key documents, challenging us all finally to come to terms with this pivotal yet largely neglected exodus.
