Circle of Tears

Like the dolphins that kept young Elian safe while adrift on the ocean, Jeanne Marie Antoinette's debut memoir explores the spiritual undercurrents to the national and international headlines. A close friend to the boy's lawyer, Antoinette offers tremendous insights to the psychic battle being waged between America and Cuba, Elian's father and his American-based relatives, and the personal journey she encountered in discovering her own deep attachment to a seemingly distant news event. Clearly written and simply told, CIRCLE OF TEARS cuts through the posturing and politics to tell a perfectly human tale in an ever-increasing imperfect world ruled by media and governments.
