"Orta's book is not just about politics; it's about the human spirit. It's about the power of resilience, the unwavering belief in a dream that transcends borders and generations. This is the story of Cuban Americans, a story etched in freedom, whispered in dreams, and forever shaping an ever-changing America." - Leslie Sanchez
"This is not just a trip down memory lane of some bye-gone era of cooperation and bipartisanship. Rather it can serve as a roadmap to guide current leaders and help them accomplish great things when they put extreme partisanship and blind allegiances aside." - Alex Penelas
