THREE TIMES FREE: FROM COMMUNIST CUBA TO SPIRITUAL FREEDOM - RAMON GARCIA'S INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY

Three Times Free: Autobiographical Story by Ramon Garcia

The true story and odyssey of a man who wanted to attain his freedom at all costs. It takes him through a perilous voyage at sea, during which he would rather face the possibility of death than remain enslaved by a totalitarian regime.

In the course of this book, his liberty will be challenged and will cost the teller of this passionate story, Ramon Garcia, to have to recuperate not only his independence but also something much more important, his spiritual freedom, conquered minute by minute behind the bars of several prisons.

Garcia's testimony takes us through intense moments of struggles, missteps, and redemption in a volume full of experiences almost novelesque, but which are the detailed account of a significant revelation that we may share with the enjoyment of this reading.

"That is why I am three times free, but not as those with liberty as a pretext to do wrong, but as a servant of God."

The book Three Times Free: Autobiographical Story is a powerful memoir chronicling my life journey—from my daring escape from communist Cuba in 1963 to building a new life in the United States, and ultimately finding profound spiritual freedom through faith in God. It details the hardships under Castro's regime, the courage required to flee oppression, the challenges of starting over as an immigrant, my success in the jewelry business, and how true liberation comes not just from physical freedom but from surrendering to God's grace. The title reflects three layers of freedom: escaping political tyranny, achieving personal and economic independence in America, and attaining spiritual redemption.

This book is dedicated to my three children and seven grandchildren (two granddaughters and one grandson). My oldest daughter is 54, my other daughter is 49, and my youngest son is 46. They were born in the United States and have never known the horrors of communism—the constant hunger, rationing, fear of imprisonment for dissent, or the total loss of personal liberty that I endured. In Cuba under that system, food was scarce, opportunities were crushed, and the government controlled every aspect of life; disobedience often meant jail or worse. My children and grandchildren have been blessed with freedom, abundance, and opportunity here in America—things I fought desperately to reach. Through this book, I want them to understand the true cost of the freedom they enjoy every day, so they never take it for granted. Thank God for the United States, the land that gave me a second chance.

Yes, this is my first published work. At 82 years old (born in February 1944 in Barros Oriente, Cuba), I've finally put my story on paper after a lifetime of living it.

It took several years to complete the book, as I wanted to ensure every detail was accurate and meaningful. Writing it involved reflecting deeply on painful memories, family stories, and spiritual insights, but the process was rewarding and healing.
