Before the book signing.

Before the book signing…

In the days leading up to my first book signing, I was feeling a bit unsure of myself. There was so much I still needed to learn and I never imagined myself as a published author. But sometimes, my heart would fill with so much imagination and fantasy, just like my father who was also a dreamer.

Despite my doubts, a sudden burst of energy welled up inside me while I was walking around my house. It felt like a message from my father urging me to keep moving forward and push past the odds. I knew I had to do this not just for myself but for my father and for anyone else out there who my story might inspire.

Believing in oneself can be challenging, especially when your values and societal expectations are at odds.

I had a wonderful childhood growing up in Cuba. Spending time with my father and my mother made me happy.

As I entered my teenage years, I started comprehending my father's struggles and opposition to the government. It made me wonder if there was something that would give me a clearer understanding of my own life.

I would like to introduce my father through these posts to help you understand why I am sharing my personal story.
