A Cuban Refugee’s Journey
to the American Dream

The Power of Education


During the few times my father still visited the park, he was under surveillance. On the way home one night, a neighborhood acquaintance walked past him and whispered, “you have a shadow.”
— Gerardo M. González

A book about one person,
— a refugee, a boy —
who succeeded beyond
anybody’s wildest expectations.

The power of education
is the story of my life
