In the intoxicating world of Cuba, warrior queen Gina embarks on a journey from lost soul to cultural awakening—one paved with grief, deception, and the struggle to recreate her identity.

This well-travelled businesswoman arrives as an adventurous spirit seeking to rebuild her shattered life after profound loss. But beneath her kind-hearted resilience lies unresolved trauma that clouds her judgment. Cuba seduces Gina with its vibrant chaos, becoming a hedonistic lover that destroys her ability to repattern her desires.

When vanity and cultural misunderstandings spark a string of deceptions and financial ruin, Gina’s mission becomes recovering her self-worth. Outwitted by a manipulative young man, she grapples to accept that individual needs matter more than cultural similarities. As anger and determination set in before the climax, the stakes are clear: overcome this psychological minefield or let it destroy her final chance to create the new life she came to Cuba to find.

Can Gina claw her way back from the inferno to regain her formidable queen status? This compelling story follows one woman’s metamorphosis through the heartrending aftermath of grief.

Thank You for The Kiss, a memoir, is a story inspired by real-life events, unexpected, powerful and shocking.
