Notes from South America

Isa Hopkins spent most of her life feeling alienated from her Cuban heritage. In 2011, she decided to do something about it -- but since she was too disorganized to get the government's permission to travel to Cuba, she went to Chile and Argentina instead, where she had her passport stolen, found herself homeless, and encountered some of the most extraordinary human kindness. This book is her haphazard, fumbling, funny journey through a beautiful land -- and through her own past.
