Chip-Chip

by Rusty Jaquays

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.
