Description

"Reyita is the life story of a black woman whose life spanned the century. Based on extensive interviews and thorough archival research, Reyita is a vibrant testimony which deals with the intimate and public events in the life of a thoughtful and hard-working woman. Her story takes us into the heart of the black experience in Cuba in the twentieth century."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

Rocking in the wicker chair, a tumult of memories come: long dead sorrows, joys, ideas; the present fades, and the ocean grows, when the suns and moons of memory flash on your inward eye.
