Memorias de una combatiente clandestina
Las historias de una combatiente de la generación revolucionaria de los años cincuenta del pasado siglo, su familia, sus compañeros de la lucha clandestina y los colaboradores del MR-26-7 que la rodeaban desfilan por estas páginas que develan el sacrificio y la abnegación de quienes lo entregaron todo a la lucha revolucionaria. Muchos de los personajes de quienes cuenta Leonor en sus memorias son conocidos —hasta con el Che y Camilo, durante la invasión y su paso por Las Villas, incluida la toma de Santa Clara, combatió Leonor—; en todos están presentes el heroísmo y el amor a Cuba. Nos ofrece la valiosa historia de una muchacha común, que se fue transformando en una mujer de vida excepcional, de una generación que lo sacrificó todo en aras de la libertad patria. Por eso, la lectura de estas páginas estremece.
