A Sea between Us: The True Story of a Man Who Risked Everything for Family and Freedom

by Yosely Pereira, Billy Ivey (Editor)

Overview

What could compel the humble son of a carpenter to build a boat, battle the shark-infested waters of the Florida Straits, and leave the only life he’s ever known?

A Sea between Us 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.

What People are Saying About This

Tony Hale

I’m excited about this book, and I can’t wait to see how Yosely’s story impacts people throughout the world. Ivey captured something really special in A Sea between Us.

Jon Acuff

I’ve been waiting for more than 20 years for this book. That’s not an endorsement exaggeration. In 1998, I got my first real job at an advertising agency in Birmingham, Alabama, and learned how to write from a guy named Billy Ivey. I’m thrilled this book is finally here, and when you read this wonderful story of human triumph, you’ll be thrilled too.

Dr. Marty Makary

I have always been drawn to true stories. There is simply nothing more compelling than real life. A Sea between Us is not only true, but it is an exciting, heart-wrenching, hopeful, and wonderfully told story that is as important as it is beautiful.

Tracy Frist

Gripping. Billy Ivey captures the trauma of human tragedy and the inherent loyalty in true love. This is the American story. It sheds light on dreams that persevere in imposed darkness and helps keep hope in our sight.
