Ocean of Stars and Dreams

Faith. Hope. Love. Dreams.

Step back in time with Cuban-American author Maday Martínez de Osaba as she recounts her family’s rich history—the trials, joys, triumphs, and the life that happens in between.

She beautifully unravels the elaborate details of her family and how they overcame the tragedies that life sometimes throws at us. Martínez de Osaba’s intricately woven words and stories remind the reader to celebrate the journey rather than the destination.

She exposes layers of the human spirit and the intangible longing a soul has to find love and make it a home.

Follow along on this epic journey— from Cuba in the 1930s to later fleeing Castro’s oppression to Spain and finally to the freedom of the United States. Martínez de Osaba chronicles her family lineage and history with honesty and authenticity.

This is a story about what we find when we seek to discover our family’s past. We always find more than we knew—both the good and bad—which make our life stories worth telling.
