A love story that spans generations…

The story alternates between Havana in 1958 and Miami in 2017.

Elisa and the Perez sisters were daughters of a wealthy Cuban sugar baron and were living a luxurious life in Havana. They were shielded from the horrors of the revolution going on as Fidel Castro fought the dictator, Batista for control. At least for awhile, until they had to flee.

Fast forward to 2017…..

Elisa’s granddaughter, Marisol will return to Cuba to spread her ashes in her beloved homeland.  Marisol desperately wants to fulfill her wish and experience some of her family roots.  She learns much more than she bargained for when she arrives.

She is confronted with the question of whether her grandmother was in love with a revolutionary. 

While she is there she meets Luis, who sweeps her off her feet. Could history possibly repeat itself? 

A quiet romance with some historical/political interpretation and some moments of the chaos they surely felt with the revolution taking over their lives.

For fans of Historical Romance novels!
