Rogelio tells the story of his journey of faith, from a humble farm boy in Cuba to an enterprising young man that had to use all his skills and wits to brave the rough seas, and shifting currents, of the Florida straits to find a new life for himself and his young family. Rogelio's story is tightly woven through the events at the onset of the Cuban communist revolution and his imminent persecution by the regime, which led to the terrifying voyage of escaping Cuba in an old broken-down sailboat with 13 other souls, landing on a deserted island without food or water. Despite the adversities and against all odds, Rogelio's faith kept him strong and led him through this adventure of a lifetime.He has also published an adaptation of the book in Spanish, "CORRIENTES ADVERSAS; Mi Travesía de Fe Hacia la Libertad."This is a gripping tale that every freedom-loving American should read. Mr. Pombrol was a young, newly married man with a child on the way, when the tyranny of the diabolical Castro regime led him to flee his homeland of Cuba for the liberty and prosperity of the USA. Surviving the many hardships of life under a brutal communist dictatorship, he risked everything on a dangerous journey towards freedom, strengthened by his unwavering faith in God and the promise of a better life for himself and his family.
