West Palm Beach, FL – August 8, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Bestselling Author Don Roth recently celebrated the release of his new book, “The Girl From Guantanamo.” The book represents Roth’s entry into the historical fiction genre and is already breaking boundaries and setting records. “The Girl From Guantanamo” has a 5-star rating on the Amazon platform and a movie deal is currently in the works.

“What makes the book so unique is that Don Roth was actually stationed in Guantanamo aboard the USS Raymond during the Cuban Revolution. This gives him a firsthand perspective and creates a sense of authenticity with readers that could not have been achieved any other way,” said Brian Lane, a member of Roth’s book launch team.

“The Girl From Guantanamo” tells the story of Pilar Ruiz, an unlikely eighteen-year-old heroine who, in 1958 Cuba, changed the course of Castro’s Revolution. Pilar left her home on a sugar plantation near Santiago, Cuba at age nine for a better life in booming Miami, along with her father, the sparring partner of international Cuban boxing legend Kid Gavilán, and her mother, a former clerk at the US Naval base in Guantanamo Bay.

Many prominent figures in the creative arena had these things to say about the highly-anticipated release of The Girl From Guantanamo:

“Don Roth may be a literary late bloomer, but he is a born storyteller whose vivid tale is told with stunning urgency,” said Robert Klane, acclaimed filmmaker and author of “Where’s Poppa?”, “Weekend at Bernie’s,” and “European Vacation.”

Academy Award-winning producer Nick Reed commented, “Cuba conjures up so many amazing images: timeless beauty, beautiful women, and the charisma of a soon-to-be great leader in Fidel Castro. Don Roth melds these wonderful elements together using fact and fiction, as he weaves a compelling story of a beautiful femme fatale and a group of wily men that changed the course of a nation.”

“Don Roth’s riveting tale of Cuban life on the brink of the Revolution is fresh, sexy, and exciting, and reads like it was written by someone who was there to witness it all – and Roth was,” said Peter Callahan, award-winning filmmaker, writer/director of “Last Ball” and “Against the Current.”

Poised to transition into a life of relative ease and privilege, Pilar’s story takes an interesting turn when it collides with Castro’s Revolution, upending her family with the arrest of her father as a suspected anti-Batista activist and forcing her to flee the US and return to Cuba. With her father’s political sensibilities and a deep love for her homeland, the scrappy girl from Guant?namo infiltrates the CIA and uncovers a plot to end the Revolution that forever alters world history in the process.

Lane went on to say, “The fact that the Castro-led Cuban Revolution had such a huge impact on our world makes this book a must read. We are excited about taking readers on this journey and allowing them to get a fresh, close-up perspective on Castro’s Cuba through the eyes of one of the most fascinating characters we’ve ever met.”
