God Meant It For Good is a dramatic autobiography that begins when an eleven-year-old, Catholic, girl was sent alone from her beloved Cuba to the U.S. after the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 Her affluent parents did this so she would escape the tyranny of Fidel Castro and Communism hoping that in the future they would reunite. It is both a heartwarming and a heartrending story. There are difficult episodes, some traumatic, in Maria’s life surrounding her hope and effort to bring her family to America. There are similarities to Joseph in the Bible who said '... you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Genesis 50:20 NKJV. Maria’s story culminates when she returns to Cuba for the first time after 50 years on a missions trip and she discovers a miracle gift God has for her. One year later her minister son returns to Cuba and retrieves the 'gift.' As he boards his airliner to come home..with the gift in hand he recounts its backstory to minister companions. Eavesdropping on this conversation is a journalist who, visibly moved, hands the son his business card stating that this is a story that must be told. This is that story.
