ACuba, Pearl of the Antilles, a gorgeous, tropical country, was one big prison during the 1980's. Fidel Castro � the "Great Leader� � ruled the country unchallenged, forcing Communism on the entire country with an iron hand. In Havana, the island�s capital, lives an assimilated Jewish family, the Daniels. Within a short period of time, Alonso Daniel faces the most unexpected perils as he endeavors both to save his brother�s life and pursue his forbidden study of Torah. The reader will accompany him to a military-preparatory boarding school, to the government hospital in Havana, to the municipal library�s basement in Marianao, on crosscountry trains, on the backs of horses over mountains, and in the Caribbean Sea � till the very end of the story. Suspenseful, dramatic, and insightful. Sure to be loved by teens and adults alike.
