A local woman recently published a historical fiction book based on her experience of growing up in Cuba under a repressive government. Local resident Lilli Meier was born in Havana, Cuba and lived there until she was 11 and a half, from 1949 to 1961. And with the help of her husband Lou, she has recently finished writing and published a book, “Killing My Cuba”, based on her own and her family’s experience during that time.
