From Communism To Freedom: A Young Girl's Journey

By Maria Teresa Gable

In From Communism to Freedom: A Young Girl's Journey, Maria Teresa Gable shares her unforgettable story of growing up in Cuba under Castro's communist regime and the long road that finally led her family to freedom in the United States.

At just eleven years old, Gable witnessed her father's persecution for refusing to conform to the new government, the loss of everything her family had worked for, and the daily humiliation endured by those labeled "traitors." Yet through her father's courage, faith in God, and unshakable determination, she learned the importance of resilience and hope.

This memoir takes readers from the sugarcane fields of Cuba to the Freedom Flights of 1967. Her childhood memories of family and loss teach powerful lessons of sacrifice and perseverance. Gable's personal story is a tribute to her father's strength, her family's survival, and the gift of freedom.

Maria Teresa Su rez Gable was born in Cuba in 1956 and came to the United States in 1967 during the Freedom Flights. Inspired by her father's determination to secure a better life for his family, she has carried his lessons of faith, courage, and perseverance throughout her life. A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Maria Teresa has always treasured writing to preserve memories. She and her husband, Bobby, are happily retired in Maryland, where they enjoy spending time with their children, grandchildren, and puppy, Duke.
