Gracias, Fidel!: A young boy's journey escaping Castro's Cuba and realizing the American Dream

What if you had to leave everyone you love and everything you know to start a new life-at age 13, by yourself?

That's the story of Nelson A. Diaz, a successful engineer and real estate investor who fled Castro's Cuba alone as a teenager-to escape his certain fate as a soldier in the Cuban Army. Nelson's journey took him to two countries, six cities, and many adventures until he was reunited with his family in Miami, Florida. Then Nelson navigated the uncertainties as an immigrant, the prejudices as a Cuban-American, and the language barriers as a Spanish-speaker--all while simultaneously trying to survive adolescence!

Nelson went on to found a successful real estate business in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and he shares his best business advice at the end of his book.

Gracias, Fidel! is the quintessential success story, the underdog's triumph, and the American dream realized.
