Product Description
The whims of politics are at the fore of Guillermo Vincente Vidal s memoir, in which young boys become men in the shadow of revolution and personal turmoil. Vidal writes about his family's participation in events that forever altered U.S. Cuban relations after an effort to free children from the threat of Communist rule sparked Operation Peter Pan. From chance encounters with Fidel Castro and Robert F. Kennedy to life in a dismal Catholic orphanage in Colorado, Vidal perseveres to embrace life as a proud and successful Cuban American. His account is a poignant story of forgiveness and the joy of returning home.
About The Author
Guillermo Vincente Vidal is the Deputy Mayor and Manager of Public Works for the City and County of Denver.
Reader Reviews
Guillermo Vidal's richly detailed writing makes the heart ache as he recounts his family's immigration from Cuba to the United States. An intimate family portrait emerges from the struggle and conflicts this family endures and ultimately overcomes. A worthwhile and inspiring read.
