The decades after his migration from Cuba in October of 1962 had
helped to block out the horrific realities of the revolution, but
not the sadness and unrest he still experienced. From childhood and
through his adult life, Maximo Gomez questioned what his life was
meant for, and not receiving an answer, he found peace only in
retreat and solitude.
In September of 1997, as he grieved his father's death, he
received an otherworldly commission from his ancestors to pen down
his family's history. A story that would span almost one hundred
years, forcing him to relive the anguish and despair of every
generation he uncovered. During his quest, Maximo Gomez returned to
Cuba, wrote letters to the Vatican and genealogical societies in
Spain.
Curiously, and yet cautiously, the author moved through a maze
of politics, affluence, betrayal, death and privation that he later
came to recognize as a journey of rediscovery. In this dramatized,
often funny historical fiction, Max Gomez puts his phantoms to
rest, finding the door of reconciliation between his future and his
past.
