Written through the eyes of Frías, an accomplished journalist, 'Take Me With You' is a vivid and arresting portrait of a forbidden land ripe with wonders and filled with ghosts.

A stranger to his mother country, Frías traveled to Cuba in 2006 to cover Fidel Castro’s illness on an assignment from his newspaper. What he found was a thrilling shock to his senses. Raised among the “gringos,” watching the lights of Little Havana glimmer in the distance, Frías knew Cuba only through the stories and anecdotes of his family members. He retraces his parents’ footsteps across the cities, towns and countryside of Cuba over twelve days. Along the way, he delves into the gritty and tangible experiences of those living in Castro’s world and explores the unexpected effects his trip had on his family — both the members who came to America and those left behind — and on him."
