This is the harrowing true story of Yosely Pereira, the love of his life, Taire, and their incredible fight to escape the brutal bonds of communist Cuba. Ninety miles lay between their island prison and their dreams. But crossing those miles was only the beginning of this gripping journey. After building a boat and enduring the Florida Straits, Yosely secured his freedom, but his own escape was not enough. Taire and their two young children still needed to be rescued. A story of a harrowing journey fueled by love, A Sea Between Us celebrates the strength of the human spirit and the transcendent power of love.
Yosely Pereira is a humble Cuban carpenter. His life journey includes multiple failed escapes from Cuba, imprisonment, near-death experiences, and finally a desperate paddle across the shark-infested Florida Straits in a boat that he built.
