The Long Way To Happiness

From the shores of Cuba to the promise of freedom in the United States, The Long Way to Happiness tells the unforgettable true story of one woman's courage, faith, and determination to build a better life.

Written by Kelly Silva and her mother Clara Cruz, this inspiring memoir follows Clara's extraordinary journey from her childhood in Cuba-marked by struggle and perseverance-to her escape to America in search of a new beginning.

Told with honesty and heart, The Long Way to Happiness is a moving tribute to Clara Cruz, written with her daughter, Kelly Silva and lovingly edited by her granddaughter, Nikki Lorenzo-celebrates three generations united by strength, faith, and the power of storytelling.
