My Cuban Revolution: How Fidel Castro Changed My Life

In 1962, a twenty-year-old Canadian School teacher headed to Cuba to observe its revolution and new social order. It was meant to be a temporary visit. But on the night of her twenty-first birthday, she met Fidel Castro. When a chance encounter turned into a friendship, it changed the course of her life forever. Unintentionally befriending Fidel led to an extended stay in Cuba. At his invitation, her entire family joined her to live and work in the newly revolutionized country. Then Satya Brown enrolled in medical school with her sister. From 1962 to 1979, Satya became a doctor, met her future husband, got married, and rose to the peak of her profession. Filled with insight, humor, and history, this is an unforgettable memoir of a rare and unique experience. She shares stories of raising a family in austerity and her firsthand experience of the early years after the revolution as well as the Cuban Missile Crisis.
