(message) Want to communicate the release of my books, Destroyed Dreams and Sueños Destruidos. Over 400 pages, include rare and priceless family photos. For many years, wanted to share a perspective on events that lead Cubans to leave the Island, and have finally written the perspective of a young woman who leaves alone, through Mexico, and tells the story of her struggle for freedom. While it is my story, the events have been romanticized to get the emotions to surface. My entire family participates as events take place from 1961 through 1969, when I arrive in the United States of America. There is a dedication, and a chapter for acknowledgments. These pages capture the names of all the many individuals who have been so very meaningful in my life, encouraging the writer in me. While it may be presumptuous for me to expect you to read Destroyed Dreams and Sueños Destruidos, I sincerely hope you will take the time out of your busy schedules to do so, to understand the plight of the people of Cuba. The books are ONLY available through the Internet. You may acquire them through Internet houses such as the Publisher: http://www.trafford.com - Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com or any other. By writing these books, my dream is to immortalize the family history, now registered for copyright protection in both the Library of Congress of the United States and Canada. Leaving a legacy and making a difference. that is the purpose. Respectfully, Esperanza "Hope" Reynolds
