«El pie de mi padre» is the contemporary novel by Zoé Valdés published by Editorial Planeta in hardcover (228 pages, in Spanish).
Alma Desamparada grows up without knowing her father and dreams of finding him. When they finally meet, she hopes to recognize him by his foot: if it is the same as hers, he will be her true father. Her real life, marked by poverty and pain, contrasts with the future she imagines, where she triumphs as a writer and leaves Cuba in search of freedom.
