Born and raised on the island, he came to the U.S. in the aftermath of the revolution. He raised a family, built a life, and became an American. And he never forgot his origins, his homeland, his soul.
I have known Felipe most of my life. The quality of his character and the facts of his story will entertain you and enlighten you. Through his eyes and his experience, you will begin to understand Cuba and the Cuba experience. In doing so, you will better understand the American experience as well, for the history and fate of those two countries and those two people, seem to be forever intertwined. The future promises more of the same, as Cuba inevitably moves toward a day where freedom will return and the ties between Cuba and America will only grow closer and stronger.
Felipe is not only an extraordinary story but also a valuable testimony – one ma’s lifelong journey form one country to another, one world to another, one existence to another.
It is a testimony worth reading. It is a journey worth taking
