Born in the fall of 1955, in the barrio known as Glorytown in Cienfuegos, Cuba, Calcines was born into a loving family whose heart and soul were his maternal Abuelo's [Grandparents]. His childhood was regrettably interrupted by the Communist revolution and he grew up fast during the first ten years of the Castro regime. This experience inspired Calcines to share his story and write his first book, the memoir Leaving Glorytown: One Boy's Struggle under Castro. http://www.eduardocalcines.com.
