      For Sandra Gorry, world traveler and Mom Extraordinaire,

      who encouraged me from a very young age to “live your dreams.”

      Cubans—all of them, male or female, young or old, rich or poor, have so much charm, that one can be lenient about their faults.

      Yes, charm is the national industry, all right. To be simpático

      is as natural and as necessary to a Cuban as breathing.

      —Consuelo Hermer and Marjorie May
