All For The Love Of A Girl Peter L Harding

Emilio Fuentes loved only one girl, the beautiful, Juanita Garcia. But life in Cuba under dictator Fidel Castro's Revolution was hard. As students at the University of Havana, they knew, no amount of learning was going to allow either of them to grow and prosper under the strict ruling of Communism. Problematic - Juanita's family!Fraught with danger, 'fleeing' as a political refugee would be Emilio's last resort - a challenge of epic proportions. Heartbreak through times of adversity and despair. Adventure to plot and scheme. Compassion for loved ones and what might never be. All scenarios interweave on the 'never-give-up' journey forward that will embrace three generations - Eduardo, Vicente and Emilio - the Fuentes family. With friends and loved ones, it would be the fight of a lifetime, not just for survival in a country continually deteriorating, but in the quest to find a way to Lady Liberty's open arms - to America -and freedom. With factual historic events woven throughout, the chronicled saga as it unfolds encompasses equally the heady days of the American 'Mob' who owned and operated the Caribbean islands glitzy and glamorous hotel casinos in tandem with a ruling and corrupt President - also - a growing dissident, Fidel Castro, his unrest and ultimate revolutionary uprising. Both play key roles in the good and bad fortunes of the Fuentes family as ocean's are crossed and proverbial mountains moved in their search for the penultimate - life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For Emilio Fuentes, forever the optimist, he will follow his heart - All For The Love Of A Girl.
