An American couple in Havana, 1954 - in a true story of grace & forgiveness

Watching today's coverage of an American President in Cuba reminds me of a chat with Grandfather 30-plus years ago, when he was in his 80s. He was an Anglo from a rural Midwest village, but said if there was one place he would visit more time, it would be Havana. In the '40s and '50s, G'father and G'mother spent winters in Florida, and loved crossing to Cuba. Their story is central to 'Letter from Alabama,' the true story of broken homes, redemption, forgiveness, and grace. Available here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VQIIODK
