New Release--From Cornfields to Cuba by Sally Kane
A Woman's Social Justice Journey
Hello and Welcome to JQ’s Substack Focused on Story!
I am so happy you are stopping by today because I am excited to share the news about my friend’s newly released memoir.
CONGRATULATIONS! TO DEBUT AUTHOR, SALLY CUNNINGHAM KANE. Her memoir, From Cornfields to Cuba, is available now on Amazon.
BACK OF THE BOOK: The Midwest backdrops the author’s protected childhood during the Cold War period of the 1950’s. The Civil Rights and Women’s Movements, then the Vietnam War era, fuel her desire to better know the world. These events propel her into a journey of social justice activism, one of discovery, defiance, spiritual formation and personal power. The story arcs when a rare opportunity opens, in tandem with her husband, to experience an immersion into post-revolutionary Cuba.

Sally has been researching and writing this memoir for years. Is it a coincidence that her story came out at this moment when Cuba is in the news? If you are interested in the Cuban culture and the lives of the citizens after the revolution, read her eyewitness account and heartfelt reflections on the 1950’s experience.
MY REVIEW: I was honored to be a beta reader for From Cornfields to Cuba. The author takes a tour with a group of Americans to discover beautiful Cuba. The author is a skillful storyteller, recording her journey in lyrical language and word painting the scenes of post-revolutionary Cuba. Follow the group as they learn, listen, dance, and immerse themselves in the Cuban culture.
From Cornfields to Cuba is available now on Amazon.
