The Cuban Mile

A psychologically charged novel of risk and desire, two Cubans share the most perilous journey of their lives with nothing but a stolen Cuban Air Force raft, some food, a firearm, and each other. They are brothers-in-law with nothing more in common beyond that, and their goal is to land in the United States. With chapters broken into days and then miles, the novel is narrated by the increasingly anxious inner dialogue of one of the young men.
