Sandwiched between new Mel Brooks and Kobe Bryant books in the Long Branch Free Public Library’s main branch on Broadway and by new Carl Bernstein and Jimmy Carter books in the Elberon branch is this local author’s debut book, Fatherlands: Identities of a Cuban American. If you are curious about my “memoir with a twist” and a patron of the local library or Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium (LMxAC) — yes, I realize Long Branch is in Monmouth County — check it out!
