Almost 50 years from Fidel Castro’s take over of the Government of Cuba, and the immediate and drastic changes for the worse that took effect in every facet of the people’s life in the island, the international press, all over the world, but especially in the USA, became very lenient, for the lack of a better word, with Fidel’s revolutionary people and their leaders.

Today the average American doesn’t know and needs to know what is going on in the island to decide his own future. This book intends to be a small window through the cover of misinformation and deceit others have created and let you see what I have seen about the Cuban reality and the dangers for those living in the USA, all of this wrapped in a conflicting and passionate love story.
