Tropical Secrets

In "Tropical Secrets," young Daniel escapes Nazi Germany after witnessing his grandfather's death, clinging to the hope of reuniting with his parents in New York. Instead, he's diverted to Cuba, where he forms a bond with a local girl who carries her own hidden burdens. As he begins to embrace the vibrant island life, the looming threat of Nazi oppression continues to cast a shadow over his journey. Award-winning poet Margarita Engle weaves a poignant narrative in verse, blending personal struggle with broader historical themes.
