Guillermo Marquez-Sterling, a pastor in the United Church of Christ, is the youngest son of Cuban immigrants who fled Cuba at the start of the Castro revolution. When the COVID lock-down began, he took his elderly mother, Olga, to live with him. During that time, she shared her memories of life in Havana during the 1950s. From those stories emerged "Killing the Butterfly: A Cuban Memoir of Democracy’s Demise." He is also the author of the nonfiction book, "Rise of the Spiritual Activist," and the trilogy, "Praying for an Eclipse."
