title: Strangers in Cafe Havana
author: Pol, N. Cristina
description: Maria is not your average woman, but Al is not your average man. 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 who is also a professional assassin. Al is a hitman for the Mafia. When he 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 their lives. For those who love to celebrate the holidays and their faith, both feature prominently in this book. Strangers in Café Havana is the perfect read for Christians this holiday season.
