The publicity campaign has begun for a book written by Juanita Castro, a
longtime Miami resident and exiled sister of the two men who have ruled
Cuba for 50 years.
A publication date of Oct. 26 has been announced for Mis Dos Hermanos --
Fidel y Raúl, My Two Brothers -- Fidel and Raúl, co-written with Maria
Antonieta Collins. The book will cost $19.99.
The 432-page Spanish-language book has been in the making for a decade
-- then shelved until recently.
``This is a testimonial told in the first person by someone who was
there since birth, next to two influential political figures of Latin
American politics -- her brothers,'' an ad for the book promises. ``This
is the story Juanita Castro owed us all, but has never told, now here it
is.''
Castro, who left her family behind in 1964 to come live in exile with
more than a million other Cubans, has always kept a low profile in
Miami, where for years she owned a pharmacy before retiring.
In November, Castro is scheduled to make an appearance at the Miami Book
Fair International at Miami Dade College's Wolfson Campus.
