"Orta’s book is not just about politics; it's about the human spirit. It's about the power of resilience, the unwavering belief in a dream that transcends borders and generations. This is the story of Cuban Americans, a story etched in freedom, whispered in dreams, and forever shaping an ever-changing America.
