The Last Raft

De: John H. Cunningham

Narrado por: Kyle Tait

Five desperate people flee Cuba aboard a homemade raft following an exodus of a hundred thousand countrymen. Oblivious to escalating geopolitical hostilities—American senators who want to preserve the decades-old embargo and oppose the president's desire to embrace change—and the civil unrest brewing ahead, the rafters risk their lives to change their lives.

Juan initiates the journey, selling lies to convince the others to join him on the raft. Senator Spinelli manipulates the emotions of Cuban American dreamers for self-enrichment and power. With his strategy-savvy Chief of Staff Terri Turner, President Winslow risks the pinnacle of success to change the future.

Fidel Castro is a double-dealing despot who will burn the house down around himself in revenge for the exodus. Their collective desperation is woven into a complicated yet beautiful imbroglio of faith, dreams, and desire that, in the end, will unite or destroy them all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is an amazing book...the issues are thoroughly explained by characters who seem to live and breathe on every page." (Lisa Black, New York Times best-selling author of Every Kind of Wicked)

Another great story John, it’s a shame it’s fiction and not true!

Thanks for authoring such an inspiring writing! Great history that I lived through as a youngster. It’s pitiful that eleven presidents have not taken the initiative to do as your story suggest! Great story! Maybe it will happen in our lifetime!!
