Author Description

In the mid-1990s, a brave young couple retrieved “the Castro Diaries” hidden in a boat on display at the Miami International Boat Show. Almost immediately, they encounter rogue CIA agents, agents of the Cuban Government, and mafia types who also want those diaries. After a harrowing escape, they enter witness protection and spend the next 12 years running from their past adventures! Almost 30 years later, their teenage son discovers proof of those 12 years of Witness Protection in a banker’s box entitled “The Gap Years 1994-2006.” The young man learns his parents’ past is far more exciting than he could have ever imagined. Over the next few weeks, he learns more details, falls in love for the first time, and examines his own faith and religious convictions. The story is told through the eyes of what the young man had always believed was a devout The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) family. Members of the LDS Community will immediately recognize elements of their religion. For individuals of other faiths, it will be an interesting view of one of the nation’s most often misunderstood Christian denominations.
