- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So glad that Billy Ivey helped to share this story. This book paints, an incredible picture of what Cuba and communism are truly like from somebody with personal experience. I love to hear the incredible sacrifices that were made in order to be free. So glad it worked out for them. Great read
