The Land of Opportunities

a historical fiction novel

FREEDOM IS JUST THE BEGINNING.


After escaping a deadly socialist regime, two lifelong friends leave everything behind and arrive in Miami with nothing but hope and determination.


Just think of how horrifying it would be if you woke up one morning and were being displaced, forced out of your home, out of your country, with no money, no place to live, and not knowing the language, customs or culture to which you were going. From a previous life of joy and significant wealth to dreadful poverty.


As they chase their dreams in America, they discover love, face temptation, and learn that opportunity always comes with a price.
