Diary of a Survivor: Nineteen Years in a Cuban Women's Prison

Rating:
Summary: Captivating and inspiring!
Review: I don't know how I stumbled upon this book but I couldn't put it down once I started. While this is a story of Cuba, prison, and women, it is most importantly an inspiring story of courage. Ana is a true inspiration to all women to never stop fighting for what you deserve. She has an enormous amount of self-respect and lived in inhumane conditions for 2 decades because of her beliefs. It was a book I looked foward to reading every day and truely make me feel inspired.

Ever since then I have become appauled by the courage, committment and loyatly these women had for each other. This book is not a only a diary of a survivor, but also a diary for a survivor, because it has helped me, along with other, survive through each and everyday....Go Anna and the rest of the crew.

Review: When I started this book, I was hoping for some unique insight into the Cuban revolution, overthrowing Communism, or Cuban politics. Instead, I got an interesting look into third world prisons, and some graphic descriptions of unspeakable violence, but very little substance. I'm disappointed, but not sorry I read it.
