When Ryan, an American boy, visits Cuba for the first time, he is swept into a world that feels both foreign and familiar. The air is thick with warmth, the streets hum with life, and love is woven into every shared meal, every embrace, every moment. But beneath the laughter and connection, he also sees the weight of struggle the daily fight to provide, the resilience of a people who have learned to turn hardship into joy.

As the days pass, Ryan realizes that home isn't just a place it's the people who shape us, the love that lingers long after we've left. And when it's time to say goodbye, he understands something profound: some places never leave you. Perfect for readers who love emotional, immersive storytelling.

To my Cuban Americans, first-generation immigrants, and anyone who has left a homeland behind, Where the Land Meets the Sea is a powerful tale of heritage, connection, and the unbreakable bonds of family no matter how far we go.
