Despite her love of all things Latin, she puts herself on a travel ban to Castro's Cuba, one that lasts twenty years. When she is forced to cancel a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico at the last minute, she finds herself in Cuba twice, on back-to-back trips. Walking into the backstreets of Havana, eyes wide open, she finds herself pulled into a dalliance with a charismatic Cubano. Underneath the façade of Cuba's tourism lies the desperation of a society living mostly in abject poverty. When tourists mingle with locals, we get a glimpse of what underlies the frivolity of Cuban entanglements. St. Hilaire speaks authentically and doesn't mince words; she recounts her activities, emotions, and opinions with refreshing honesty. The author reaches a deeper understanding of human nature and the world with each solo adventure. At the same time, she conducts a journey of self-discovery, learning about her own entrenched beliefs, biases, and blemishes.".
