The Mostly True Story
of one of America’s finest moments—the Cuban Boatlift
What happens when the first mate of a fishing boat in the Florida Keys is drawn into an epic rescue mission? A little danger, a little romance, a little humor and a big difference in a lot of lives.
Chip Chip is a novel set amid the historic events of the Cuban boatlift of 1980—and event that author Rusty Jaquays experienced first-hand. Although the details of the story have been fictionalized—mostly to protect the guilty—Jaquays brings the authenticity that only a participant in this humanitarian effort could have captured.
As the U.S. normalizes relations with Cuba, Chip Chip is a story every American will want to read.
