Instead, the couple faces a challenge neither of them could ever imagine. Meanwhile, sinister forces in Cuba plan to avenge Frank's escape.

Can Frank outwit Cuban operatives bent on killing him? Will he again overcome the forces of evil? A tale of tender love, devastating loss, and the life-saving power of friendship.

Okay, but too long

Contains a lot of unnecessary descriptions, making the story dull and much longer than necessary.

Terrific Read and Peek into Cuba

Stalked takes us readers from Frank's daring escape from Cuba to Frank's new American home with Magda as a small business owner in NJ. His determined journey to American in the rambunctious 60s, also captures a thought-
provoking perspective of the times. Highly recommend!

When destiny knocks, do you open the door.

My old boss was a Cuban refugee, and I remember some of the stories he told me about his dad and the bay of pigs, some of the attacks Castro ordered on his own population were very similar to this book. The book is tragic, heartbreaking, with a lot of strength shown in the human spirit.

Riveting & thought provoking

Gave me a much better understanding of the plight of the Cubans under Castro and why they have given up hope for a better future. So very sad.
