The Breath of Cuba Part 2: Passion Play: One Woman's Love Affair with the Magic, Music and Men of Cuba

The Breath of Cuba Part II takes the reader deeper into Cuba through bedrooms and late night dances. Cheri's passion for the Cuban culture invites you into new realms where romance, music, passion and cultural distinctions merge to take you on a journey into another place and time. This story captures the end of an era in Cuba, and marks a time that has now passed as it was set in 2012 at a time when Cuba still had very little access to cell phones and internet. In stark contrast to Part I of The Breath of Cuba, in part II, the author is on a journey where romance and passion mix with a high spirited spiritual reclamation, societal rebellion and a profound reconnection with the fullness of self expression as a woman. In every page, you will get deeper into the world behind Cuba's facades, and the author's as well. What Readers are Saying: "Cheri makes the Cuba come alive in words. The book is very sensual -- as I read I can see, hear (and smell) the surroundings -- very palpable. I was also intrigued by her perspectives on Cuban culture, and can especially relate to the dancing aspect of the people's lives there. Dancing is a world and language of its own, and you capture that experience exquisitely." Tania Bank"Part 2 of this story is a lens into the complicated dynamics of cross cultural relationships, but more so it shows a lot about to p intimacy and psychology that tourists can never understand on a few day adventure to Cuba. Cheri's American perspective in an old world traditional culture was one of the most intriguing parts of this story. And the sensuality she writes with is always a pleasure to read."Marissa Stevens"The Breath of Cuba Part II was welcomed with open arms. Part I sets the stage, and Part II takes you deeper into bedrooms and living rooms beyond the facades of the culture into seeing and feeling the reality behind the facade of tourist Cuba. This is an incredible story Cheri has written, and Part I sets you up perfectly for Part II. I can't wait for Part III.Lois Hunter Rhodes
