This is an English edition of the book originally published in Cuba in Spanish. Noel Fernández Collot was born February 28, 1942, and has spent his entire life in Cuba.
He traces his roots, however, to a French revolutionary. He was greatly influenced by his parents and grandparents as a child. From an early age Noel was raised and, as age allowed, became very active in the First Baptist Church where he grew up in Camagüey. He has remained a Baptist his entire life, growing from a conservative faith in his early years to a more and more progressive faith as events in his life influenced him. His desire was to become a teacher, but necessity forced him in his early years to become an accountant. Teaching did come later. He has always been a resolute, outspoken and devoted Christian. He met and married Ormara Nolla Cao from Ciego de Avila, and she has been his soulmate on life's journey.
