Cuba is a mystery to most Americans. But most people sympathize with the desire for a better existence even if it requires leaving half your life behind. In this case, a family is torn apart while everyone does their best to become the best they hope. Can parents even know their children's' dreams? While a daughter languishes away to a promise made far away, a son discovers his calling and a new father figure. Spread across the waters, parents can lose their vision and then no one is happy. I loved the ever changing allegiances and mourned the mistakes made trying to bring one family together again before the connections are forever lost. This was both an atlas to the land and mind.

This book started out great. Wonderful character development and a plot that was very intriguing and different from anything I have read. As mentioned by others it also contained a lot of descriptive sex but it was important to the plot and it was very real. The problem for me was the last hundred pages or so. It sort of went off the rails and I felt a bit cheated. You should definitely give it a shot though and I will read the authors next work.
