His new book the <i>The Mango Chronicle</i> will be published on May 7 by Running Wild Press and will be available at major booksellers including Amazon and Barnes and Noble. The book is a gripping autobiography and an affecting remembrance of a Cuba that few get to see. One reviewer called it a captivating memoir and startlingly edifying portrait of Cuba.
