Es una bella historia de amor, donde se vencen los obstáculos que no fueron pocos entre una americana, la autora; y un cubano. Comienzas a leer y no puedes parar. El texto y la manera en que ha sido narrada la historia te atrapa. Pienso además que es un gran homenaje a su mami, cuyo recuerdo pervive en cada línea. Gracias Melanie, por este libro.

He recently lost about 20 pounds using running and nutrition. Me and me family and his staff all think he looks great. However, his mother is concerned he looks too skinny and sick.
