The Dance of the Rose

From the author of the highly-rated novel "Waiting on Zapote Street." Rio and Laura reunite in the United States after being kept apart for almost twelve years. Rio now has two teenage daughters and an eleven-year-old boy he hardly knows. How to start again, as if the years had not passed? Would Rio's past continue to haunt him and his family? The Dance of the Rose is the heartfelt, memoir-style story about a Cuban-American family and their fight to be whole again and achieve the American Dream. Based on a true story. At the end, it includes over two dozen poignant testimonies from people who came to the United States from all over the world in search of freedom and opportunity.
