Not long after, ten-year-old Peter was put on an airplane to the United States with his sister to escape Cuba after Castro's takeover. Once in America, the young Cuban immediately began working to become an American, learning the language, customs, and laws of his new home. From a trip across the south from Florida to California at only eleven years old to the memorable characters he met working odd jobs in Stockton, California, Peter found that America had everything a boy could hope for---endless opportunity for those who weren't afraid to work.
