Es un magnífico detalle en la vida de un miembro de los Peter Pan: niños que viajaban solos desde Cuba, enviados por sus padres para librarlos de la sociedad comunista que se implantaba en Cuba.Es un vívido ejemplo de todos los logros que se pueden obtener con sacrificios en un país libre que generosamente te acoge. Después de leer esta obra se aprecian más las libertades y oportunidades en medio de las cuales vivimos.

This is a very personal story which runs the gamut of human emotions. It is written in a unique and incredibly enjoyable style. It certainly has a point of view, but peddles it in a thoroughly entertaining, humorous, and intellectual way. My book club chose this book to read. Every single person in the club loved the writing style and thought that it gave them a lot to think about. It made for a very funny, thought-provoking, and lively discussion about everything from childhood to politics. One of the best books I have read in yeats!

Great service. The book was new and transaction was smooth. Will do business with you again.

I picked up the book because it was about the Peter Pan children. Eire's account was bizarre. I was born in Cuba and came over in 1969 so I lived through some of the things he describes. But his parents sound like they belong in a mental institution. I can assure you of all the weird people I knew (and I knew quite a few) none were as over the top as his parents. But it seems he overcame whatever and has a job as a proffesor. I would not want to be his student.
The good part is he is a very good writer, it's just the story that is hard to beleive.
