Strangers in Cafe Havana

Clean is a killer. An assassin. A hitman for the Mafia. The Family counts on him to carry out all kinds of hits. He is about to meet a woman who might change his entire life...if only he lets himself fall in love. Maria is not your average woman. She is beautiful, yet silly. Kind, yet strong. She also suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. The last thing she expects is to meet someone like Al, a tough Jewish-Italian New Yorker. When Al is sent to Miami for a job, he rents a room from Maria and the two form a deep and loving friendship, sharing joy, laughter, and ultimately love. But can Al change his ways? Can he let Maria into his life? Or is the Family always going to be in the way? This is a tale of true love that takes you on a journey through Miami, New York, and Africa, spanning years of Al and Maria's lives. For those who love to celebrate the holidays and their faith, both feature prominently in this book.
