From author's website: “At the end of the 19th Century the United States had emerged as a nation finally united and taking full advantage of the industrial revolution,” said author C.E. Porch. “Theodore Roosevelt was stepping onto the world stage with America becoming a world power. Cuba was a lynch pin, a stage where the show begins… I have used historical events and characters, some I knew personally, and others extrapolated from real events in order to put some things into context and give the reader a little insight to history in the background… This is a story of the Scott family which rode that wave into the 20th Century with all its wars, prosperities and depressions as reflected in the mirror of Cuba…until Fidel…”
About the author:

when the author does a good research regarding the period and the events, then this kind of stories could be a pleasant way to learn some history that one cannot find in history books
Good art work. Should be an interesting historical fiction book. Good luck. No question for the author.
