This book is about relations between Alina Fernandez and her father. At the age of ten, Alina Fernandez, finally, realized that her father was Fidel Castro. Prior to this, Alina, without surprise, accepted the visits and gifts of the leader of the revolution, without even realizing that they were united by a close relationship.

Alina Fernández Revuelta was born on March 19, 1956, in Havana, Cuba, to Fidel Castro, a dictator of Cuba, and Natalia Fernandez Revuelta, a Cuban socialite.
Alina Fernández studied medicine and diplomacy.
Disgusted with Cuban politics as a young woman, Fernández joined the opposition, only to find herself persecuted by her father's government. She defected to the US in 1993, traveling on a false Spanish passport and heavily disguised via Madrid, before introducing herself to the Cuban exile opposition - literally, across a table in its unofficial headquarters, the Versailles restaurant in Miami's Little Havana.
In 1997 Fernández published a memoir describing visits by her father engulfed in 'stinking' cigar smoke and his omnipotent presence in her early life. She recalls one box-wrapped gift of a doll for her to play with: of himself, with a full beard, military fatigues, red star epaulets, cap, and boots. The emergence of the soft-spoken Fernández as the new star of Cuba's exile radio comes hot on the heels of the revelation last year that Castro had another love-child, Francisca Pupo, also living in Miami.
Fernández was also born illegitimately, the fruit of a summer fling between Castro and a Havana socialite, Natalya Revuelta, while both were married. She communicates only by letter with her mother and is harshly denounced by her aunt - Castro's sister, Juanita Castro, who also lives in Miami. Fernández is of a younger generation, and at 46 is unhappy with the way her father and his relations have kept power. She is 'doing whatever I can to spread the reality of life in Cuba'.

1997Fernández's aunt, Juanita Castro, sued Alina Fernández for libel and defamation over passages in her autobiography about Juanita and Fidel's parents, Ángel Castro and Lina Ruz. In 2005, a Spanish court ordered Fernández and Plaza & Janes, the Barcelona Random House publisher, to pay $45,000 USD to Juanita Castro, who said the book defamed her family.
Fernández is described as a nervous, complex woman, prone to biting her nails.
Quotes from others about the person
“Her name is Alina Fernandez and not Alina Castro, because until she was ten years old she thought that her father was Orlando Fernandez - Naty Revuelta’s fher mother’s eminently respectable physician husband, who went into exile shortly after the Revolution’s triumph. By the time Alina’s real father offered to help her change her name to Castro, she wasn’t interested.” - Alma Guillermoprieto
Alina was three times married. Her first marriage ended a divorce and Alina married Francisco Salgado, a former Cuban National Ballet dancer, but they also divorced. Then Alina married a Mexican businessman. Their marriage also ended a divorce. Alina has a daughter from her second marriage, Alina Maria Salgado Fernandez.
