A tale of deadly obsession that knows absolutely no boundaries. Every life is a book. Some become bestsellers; others linger on bookstore shelves, collecting dust. Mike Bonilla's life started out as a dust collector-that is, until he met the woman who would become the best and the worst thing to happen to him. Mike's story begins in 1961, when his well-to-do Cuban family is forced to flee Castro's island prison and take refuge in America. A Long Way From Havana covers the universal experience of exile in a foreign land from the viewpoint of a young boy who is suddenly yanked from his coddled childhood into a harsh existence where nothing is familiar, including the language. Mike is forced to adapt in order to survive-but will the cost of success in his new life shatter his concept of decency and morality? I had always thought of myself as a good person, one with moral boundaries that could not be crossed under any circumstances. I firmly believed in doing the right thing no matter the consequences. In fact, I know now that I am no better, and probably much worse, than most. A literary gem packing a hefty emotional punch, A Long Way From Havana will leave readers examining their own moral compasses and obsessions.
