Publisher's summary

This is the harrowing true story of Yosely Pereira, the love of his life, Taire, and their incredible fight to escape the brutal bonds of communist Cuba.

Ninety miles lay between their island prison and their dreams. But crossing those miles was only the beginning of this gripping journey. After building a boat and enduring the Florida Straits, Yosely secured his freedom, but his own escape was not enough. Taire and their two young children still needed to be rescued.

A story of a harrowing journey fueled by love, A Sea Between Us celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the transcendent power of love.

A true love story

We as Americans take for granted our comforts and freedom. After reading this book it gives you a new perspective of those seeking freedom. His hardships, determination, work ethic and love for his family are a story I’m thankful have been told. I only wish they would’ve have given the reader more details at the end to let us know what happened after their reunion. Great book. Would recommend

Very interesting book

Enjoyed listening. The story of the inhumane treatment in their prisons was heartbreaking. Thankfully Yosiely was reunited with his family. Truly a happy ending.

Had my attention all the way through!

I chose this rating because this book is so timely. In the 21st century we still see the brutality of a totalitarian government oppressing its own but being unable to break the true human longing for dignity and freedom.

Timely and moving

This story opened my eyes to the desperation of oppressed people and why they risk so much to come to America. Very important.

Captivating Performance

The story is certainly worth listening to and gaining perspective from, but in my opinion the best thing about this Audible book was the person reading the book. I believe I would not have been as captivated if not for his performance. Well done!

Moving story

Moving and incredible story, well executed performance. So uplifting, and inspiring! Loved this book, as well as the way it was read. True story of one man’s amazing escape from communistic Cuba and his unfailing love for his family. Today’s generation of college kids should read this story before blindly embracing the leftist agenda of socialism and communism. Anyone who has lived under its iron fist will never go back!
