A Sea between Us | Yosely Pereira

1 post | 1 read

What could compel the humble son of a carpenter to build a boat, battle the shark-infested waters of the Florida Straits, and leave the only life he's ever known? A Sea between Us is the harrowing true story of Yosely Pereira, the love of his life, Taire, and their incredible fight to escape the brutal bonds of communist Cuba. Ninety miles lay between their island prison and their dreams. But crossing those miles was only the beginning of this gripping journey. After building a boat and enduring the Florida Straits, Yosely secured his freedom, but his own escape was not enough. Taire and their two young children still needed to be rescued. A story of a harrowing journey fueled by love . . . A Sea between Us celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the transcendent power of love.

A Sea between Us | Yosely Pereira

pick

This book told the story of Yosely, his family and how they came to the United States. It told of their plight in Cuba. It told of their fight and flight to freedom, which was harrowing and heartbreaking at times. This book touched my heart, opened my eyes, educated me, brought me to tears and encouraged me. It has inspired me to seek out those who have sought refuge in this country and to make them feel welcome.
