Escape From Cuba: In Search Of The American Dream (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798631457119)

I've never read a book from cover to cover, but I've never been short on stories. This book is a collection of my own stories about growing up in communist Cuba and how I escaped Cuba in search of the American dream. Every day has been a gift, because I was never going to be born. My family was poor, and a sixth child (me) was going to be more of a financial burden. Lucky for me the scheduled abortion didn't take place. Life in Cuba was very hard. We had very little money and everything was controlled by the government. My life started in a one-room house with eight of us sharing the space and very little food on the table. As I grew older, I knew I had to leave Cuba to seek opportunities to fulfill my dream of becoming a millionaire. I wanted to reach the land of opportunity...The United States of America. I never knew how hard it was going to be to fulfill that "dream". I'm not sure how much of my desire to succeed, resourcefulness & entrepreneurship comes from growing up in Cuba and how much is the personality I was born with.Read my story and experience the challenges of growing up in Cuba, the ups & downs of planning & executing my escape and finally see how I reached the land of opportunity. As you read my story, it's important to know that I've had a hard life, but I've never had a bad day
