Yearning for Cuba?

Yearning to go on a tropical vacation this holiday season? Escape the cold temperatures and wrap yourself in the magic of Cuba. Though it sits just 100 miles off of our shores, Cuba is a country that many Americans know little about. Celso Gonzalez-Falla transports us to the magic of the island in his new book, My Lost Cuba, which has been released just in time for the holiday season.
In My Lost Cuba, we step inside the life of a wealthy family who lives in La Habana in 1958, a turning point in the country: the last year of Fulgencio Batista’s dictatorship in Cuba. Enriched by a cast of colorful characters and based on the fascinating events of his life, author Gonzalez-Falla not only explores the everyday life of a family in La Habana, but also pulls us in further with a look at the political, social, and historical aspects of this fascinating time and place.
Celso Gonzalez-Falla was born in La Habana, Cuba and attended both the Colegio de Belen and the Universidad Catolica de Santo Tomas de Villanueva, earning a degree in Civil Law in 1958. Gonzalez-Falla became involved in the counterrevolution against Fidel Castro, avoiding arrest by seeking political asylum at the Chilean Embassy in April of 1961 and coming to Texas in June of 1961. From 1961 – 1986 he worked as a lawyer and in various executive positions in the oil and gas and banking businesses.
My Lost Cuba is available for purchase at www.amazon.com, www.barnesandnoble.com, and through all major booksellers upon request.
