Synopsis
Starving, and desperate for freedom, young Yanara risks everything to flee Cuba on a makeshift raft. In the face of oppression, and an unrelenting sea determined to stop their progress, Yanara's journey takes us on a wildly visceral ride through open waters, showing just how powerful human's will can be when faced with only two options: living or dying.

About the Author
Lucy Szerminski was born in Barrie, Ontario and soon developed a wide variety of interests. The first known thing that she wrote was a note reading, "Lucy dosint wont eny woder." Her first inspiration to write was the Harry Potter series at seven years old, which she then incessantly reread over and over again in different orders. In her spare time, Lucy enjoys reading, writing, rock climbing, thoroughly searching beaches for shells and rocks, telling people why the company Nike is called Nike and talking to herself.
