It's June In Miami is a collection of fifteen interlocked short stories involving four Miami Families over a forty year period: The Sterns, a Jewish American family, the Mertens, a Haitian American family, the Marti-Surazes, a Cuban American family, the Rothkopf's a retired Ohio gangster's family, and their African American help. In each story, a chance meeting with someone from a different background, often a character from another story in the book, causes the characters' lives to change. Against a setting painted in vivid tropical colors, the first generation flees poverty, abuse, revolution, the holocaust, and the repeal of the Volsted Act. They eagerly embrace the American Dream while the second generation, growing up in the sixties, find themselves realists who struggle with the painful consequences of their parent's pasts. June In Miami is about fate and agency, deception and truth, love and survival, fear and forgiveness.
