Eight years later, the turbulent winds of change forced his family to immigrate to the United States in search of a new life lived in freedom.  Fifty-six years later, Mario returned to Cuba in search of the long-forgotten memories of his childhood. Now a successful American architect, this once \u201cunsung child\u201d of the Cuban diaspora went back to face his old demons (who were no longer there) and to recall his earliest experiences. In Journey Back Into The Vault, Mario confronts the contents of the mental lockbox he had built to protect him from his challenging past. Mario\u2019s personal story is a universal one: how love and enlightenment can only begin with our search for self-actualization and peace of mind. LINKS  Please check out Mario\u2019s book, \u201cJourney Back Into the Vault\u201d right HERE. Also see his just-released new book, \u201cBefore the Revolution.\u201d HERE.
