About this title
From the Hardcover edition."
"Mel Martinez is a living embodiment of the American Dream. From his early days under the iron-fisted rule of Fidel Castro to his arrival in the United States at age fifteen, and now as a member of the U.S. Senate, Mel has demonstrated grit, resolve, and a commitment to fighting for the fundamental rights of freedom and human dignity. This remarkable story not only gives a glimpse into the life of a great man, but also reaffirms the notion that in America, anything is possible."
--John McCain
"An extraordinary and inspiring book, Mel Martinez's account is at once a memoir, a historical document, and a tribute to both his native homeland and his adopted country. Of the fourteen thousand stories that the children of the Pedro Pan airlift could tell, this is definitely one of the most exemplary. Senator Martinez reveals here, as he does in his public life, how the hyphen in 'Cuban-American' is like gold refined in a blazing furnace. Years from now-even centuries from now -readers will surely marvel still at the history recorded in these pages."
--Carlos Eire, National Book Award--winning author of Waiting for Snow in Havana
