At age 12, she and her sister were forced to flee Cuba after her father joined an anti-Castro counter-revolutionary force, and the two siblings spent their first few weeks in the United States at a refugee camp in Florida until they were sent to an orphanage in Dubuque, Iowa -- a location with a culture very different from the life Ana knew back in Cuba. She wouldn't reunite with her mother and brother for five years and her father for another 18.
