Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A legendary Cuban general, Arnaldo Ochoa Sanchez, is tried as a traitor to the Revolution. He meets his death before the firing squad. Who will get to write the history of his rise and fall? Can anyone objectively record the story of the great, yet controversial Ochoa? Who controls destiny? Who decides whose point of view is to be accepted as the truth? Who writes the history books? It sometimes depends on who is speaking.

In Lee Williams' Author of Destiny, we encounter a myriad of points of view concerning the late general, told from nearly every conceivable angle by would-be shapers of history who each have their own agendas. There's Rool, mastermind of Ochoa's demise, trying to justify himself. There's Dell, a self-tormented ghostwriter trying to free herself from herself. There's Viviana, a young exotic dancer trying to free her former Soviet general father from prison. There's Zorn, a down-and-out artist trying to draw inspiration from the story of the mighty Ochoa. So many voices swirl together, clashing in contradiction, until the truth becomes secondary to those who deign to speak it. Destiny, it seems, is a two-way street.
