Happy Birthday, Cristina Garcia! You're the literary master who made everyone dream Cuban-style—complete with rich narratives and family drama more intense than grandma’s café cubano. Your novel "Dreaming in Cuban" didn't just tell a story; it whisked us away vacation style to Havana without needing airfare.From 'The Aguero Sisters' that warmed our hearts, to chasing adventures through history's wild jungles in 'Monkey Hunting,' you keep readers craving “just one chapter” until dawn breaks quietly—or caffeine gives up trying. May your birthday be as endlessly delightful (and slightly mischievous!) as the unforgettable characters you've given us all these years!
