Reseña del libro "The Cigar Song: A Story of Passion (en Inglés)"
"The Cigar Song is a must-read, inspiring and moving, to say the least!" -CARLOS FUENTE JR., President of the Fuente Companies "The tobacco plant comes from the ground, from the dust, and eventually, it returns back to the dust, but what happens in between is a complicated and fascinating process..." (A quote from the book) This book will change your life...! My hope and promise to you are that you will be a better person after reading it...! -EMIR LOPEZ, Author Are you ready to read a book that will push all your buttons? Well, here it is...The Cigar Song is the story of Jaime Colon, a retired baseball player who works as a representative of the Cuban national team. When he suddenly finds himself in a tough predicament after realizing he was living a lie his entire life, Jaime opens his eyes to the reality that he has denied the very core of his foundation as a man by never exercising his true passion, dreams, and aspirations in doing the job he suddenly hates. The role he plays for the team, an opportunistic position he only executes to enjoy the perks that come with the job, involves being a rat and a snitch for the Castro regime by ensuring that none of the players ever dare to defect while playing abroad. The position, however, also allows him a better life than that of most living in Cuba, so he copes with being a hypocrite against the foundation of who he truly is. Realizing he has a choice to make when he is abruptly faced with the most difficult decision and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, that is when Jaime's core values, beliefs, and even his faith are tested in the blink of an eye. What will Jaime do? Will he risk losing his job, damaging his pristine character and integrity in the eyes of his countrymen, and possibly his life, in pursuit of his own personal ambitions and self-fulfillment? Or will he choose love for country and family instead? Hero or zero?
