In the book, 90 Miles to Havana, By Enrique Flores-Galbis, the main character, Julian, has one big conflict that is the revolution starts.

The last scene is on page 277 where Julian’s mother is talking about how their couldn’t come to connecticut with her yet because he was forced to stay in Cuba to build buildings. “We’re free!…
