About the book: On Elda and Aristides’ journey through like there would be floors to sweep, churros to fry, hair to spray and roofs to lay, but all the work would pay off beyond their wildest ambitions. Their love of family, their sacrifices, their ingenuity and great success is a story rich in life lessons for all.
But as with so many Cuban refugees, before the bounty there would be tragedies to tend, abject poverty to overcome and a revolution to escape. Sometimes profound tragedy and poverty can kill hope, but in certain, very special people it can ignite a winning spirit.
