My Cousin Leonor: An Extraordinary Woman

by Dr. Ismael Santos Cabrera (Author), Angela Terga (Editor) 

Category: Non-Fiction

In My Cousin Leonor, renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Ismael Santos delves into the enigmatic personality of Doña Leonor Pérez Cabrera, the mother of José Martí, Cuba’s revered hero and the father of its independence movement. Through an intimate and meticulous analysis of Doña Leonor’s personal letters—sent over decades to the Governor of Cuba and to her son—Dr. Santos reconstructs the emotional and psychological world of a woman whose steadfast character shaped her son’s revolutionary legacy. These letters, brimming with maternal devotion, political undertones, and personal reflections, reveal a complex interplay of love, duty, and resilience. Doña Leonor emerges as both a fiercely protective mother and an unwilling witness to her son’s relentless fight for Cuba’s liberation—a struggle that would ultimately claim his life. Dr. Santos weaves psychoanalysis with historical context, offering a vivid portrait of a mother’s quiet strength amid the turbulence of colonial Cuba. With careful attention to her linguistic nuances and the emotional depth of her correspondence, the author uncovers the fears, hopes, and sacrifices of a woman who lived in the shadow of revolution but whose influence on Martí was profound. Translated into English by T.A. Terga, this work brings Doña Leonor’s voice to life for a broader audience, casting a fresh light on her pivotal yet often overlooked role in Cuban history. Mi Prima Leonor is a poignant and enlightening exploration of motherhood, identity, and the intimate bonds that shaped one of Latin America’s greatest leaders. This text pays tribute to Doña Leonor Pérez Cabrera, the mother of José Martí, the hero of Cuban independence. The relationship between mother and son, marked by sacrifice and separation, is captured in the letters Doña Leonor wrote to her son during the long years of separation that would last a lifetime. At the same time, he endured first imprisonment, then exile for his ideals of freedom at seventeen. Through these letters, she not only gave him advice and comfort but also firmly reproached him when he took too long to respond, revealing the deep pain of a mother who watched her only son risk his life for a greater cause. Despite the suffering of losing her son to the fight for independence, Doña Leonor remained strong and dedicated to her family, embodying a feminist of her time. Of Canary Island origin, she was a tireless woman who faced adversity with courage, outliving most of her children, except for one daughter who stayed by her side during the difficult times they endured. Dr. Ismael Santos Cabrera’s book gives us the opportunity to learn about Martí’s intimate family life through his mother’s letters, allowing readers to empathize with the sacrifice of a devoted and admirable mother. Thanks to this work, we can better appreciate and understand the legacy of Doña Leonor and her unwavering maternal love. This book is a valuable tribute not only to Martí but also to the figure of a mother who gave everything for her children and her homeland.

Si tenemos la intención de crear un mundo pacífico dentro de nosotros mismos y con las personas que nos rodean tanto en el trabajo como en la casa, con nuestros compañeros, vecinos y familiares, debemos prestar atención a lo que pensamos y como nos expresamos, cómo juzgamos a los demás y a nosotros mismos.

Mi Prima Leonor: Una mujer excepcional (Spanish Edition)

by Dr. Ismael Santos Cabrera (Author), Angela Terga (Editor)

Category: Non-Fiction

Doña Leonor Perez Cabrera es la madre cubana de origen isleño quien en el Siglo XIX le ofrendó al pueblo cubano la fortaleza intelectual y moral de su hijo José Martí Perez, a regañadientes. Éste, a pesar de hacer su rebeldía contra la autoridad real pública y sufrir sus consecuencias desde muy joven, se convirtió finalmente en símbolo de la nación naciente que engendró desde el exilio. Todo esto lo hizo a través de medios de comunicación como la carta, la prensa, y el discurso público. Estos fueron los mismos medios que utilizó su abnegada madre al dirigirse al gobernador de la isla de cuba y su magistrado por correspondencia en su sufrimiento. En vez de llorar escribió, después lloró y se secó las lagrimas para nadie viera su antojo. En este libre leemos directamente de su puño y letra cual fuera su estado anímico. No fue ésta un entrega a gusto suyo. Si por ella hubiese sido, su hijo no seguiría sacrificandose por eso de la revolución y tomaría su lugar como cabeza de la familia Martí Perez en La Habana, en vez de ser Doña Leonor quien le diera cara a todo. Su marido en la tercera edad, ya senil, sus hijas en edad de matrimonio, las finanzas del hogar, el mantenimiento de la viviendo, y la salud—todo. Ella no lo sabía y posiblemente no lo aceptaría, pero fue una feminista fuera de su tiempo. En la actualidad, millones de mujeres somos cabeza de familia y somos y mantenemos la familia unificada. Igualmente, utilizamos los medios de comunicación disponibles. La correspondencia es el medio preferido de comunicación de todas las épocas pues no importa si lo hemos logrado en segundos, por texto, con imagen o video, nos estamos enviando y contestando señales. Doña Leonor, por carta, pudo hacerle ver a los mas altos gobernantes y magistrados de la Habana, en un idioma aunque correcto y directo, cuan despiadado seria robarle a un niño su derecho a la educación y dejar abandonados a su familia de 5 hermanas y un padre anciano, por solo haber compartido una idea en una hoja de papel. Por la libertad de su único hijo varón, redactó varias cartas a los gobernantes de la colonia española en Cuba y se mantuvo en comunicación con su hijo (Jose Martí, mártir de la revolución de independencia de Cuba contra los españoles) a lo largo de su destierro por el mundo. En sus cartas le da cuentas del desenvolvimiento de la familia al enfermar su esposo y tener que darle frente a todo con varias hijas solteras en el hogar. Fue una mujer de excepcional rendimiento que sobrevivió los duros tiempos y el sufrimiento que le tocó vivir en su larga vida de madre. En sus epístolas nos encontramos con la vida familiar intima de su familia con José (Pepe) Martí. Al darnos damos cuenta del gran sacrifico que conlleva la lucha por conseguir el cambio de una sociedad oprimida por ser libre, nos sentimos unidos en sentimiento con esta madre tan dedicada que lo da todo por su familia. El autor, Dr. Ismael Santos Cabrera, probable descendiente de esta mujer extraordinaria, nos brinda en su libro "Doña Leonor, Una mujer excepcional", la gracia de poderla conocer y admirar a través de su propio puño y letra.

Mi Prima Leonor: Una mujer extraordinaria (Spanish Edition)

Category: Non-Fiction

Doña Leonor Perez Cabrera escribe las cartas de una madre sufrida a su hijo, Jose Martí, quien fuera encarcelado desde los 15 años "por escribir tres palabras a un compañero de clases" (suplica la madre al magistrado). La verdad es que su hijo, el héroe de la independencia, Jose Martí, no era mas que un niño cuando comenzó su larga trayectoria de insurgente que todos sabemos culminó en su muerte. A través del presidio y del exilio, su madre siempre se mantuvo junto a él por cartas ofreciéndole sus consejos y reclamándole por no escribir mas a menudo. Fue un sufrimiento muy extenuante para esta madre perder a su único hijo por la causa de la independencia. Sin embargo, esta dama, sin saberlo, es una de las feministas de su era; de origen canario, luchó incansablemente toda su vida por todos los suyos y se mantuvo firme hasta el final, sobreviviendo a todas sus hijas e hijo menos una hija que sobrevivió junto a su madre los duros tiempos que les tocó vivir. En sus cartas se revela la vida íntima familiar de Martí y se aprende a tener compasión por los que luchan tanto por conseguir el cambio de una sociedad oprimida por un ideal de libertad. También nos sentimos unidos en sentimiento con esta madre tan dedicada que lo da todo por su familia. El autor, Dr. Ismael Santos Cabrera es probable descendiente de esta mujer excepcional y nos ha dado la gracia de poderla conocer íntimamente y comprender y admirar a través de su propia letra y puño. Gracias Doctor por este lindo libro dedicado a la madre del héroe cubano más reconocido del mundo.

How to Write a Novel : The Holistic Way

by Teresita A Terga (Author) 

Category: Non-Fiction

Writing a novel is not as hard as you might think. You can break it up into chapters after you write a short story. You can create notes as you go, you can start in the middle, or in the end. You're the conductor. It's in your hands to shape the clay of your imagination. But in this book you will get a simple organic storytelling telling plan that writing teachers use with reluctant writers with blockages. It all starts with a simple tale. That tale can be broken up into characters, settings, problems, goals, obstacles, and outcomes after taking action. Like a map, your story takes shape. Then you have others read it and their feedback gives you more ideas. You edit, polish, rewrite, and finally say, "I'm done."

Category: Non-Fiction

Every writer who wants a successful freelance writing career knows it pays to know your rights, ask for what you deserve, and know how to get full pay. Watch out! Don't get burnt. Once you submit a draft and before a revision, there should be payment and a new charge. Don't continue working on the "project" unless the contractor pays upfront for the draft and upfront for the revision. They may use any excuse to make you think your work is not good enough after you submit the first draft. They will strip you of the last payment for the revision, which completes the first draft. That's just a screenplay deal. When you create intellectual property you need to know your rights. And if you are a work for hire you need to know your rights and be able to prevent getting burnt.

SpiderWoman: Taharai, an Amazon Legend

by T. Terga (Author), Luis Prado (Illustrator) 

Category: Fiction

After the ecotombe, survivors of the holocaust of humanity strive to rebuild society based on the principles of Shambhala. In their neosociety there is no punishment or authority, only respect for the elderly and compassion for all as they progress into the third generation. In the evenings, during camp act, they tell the story of Taharai a spiderwoman of unequal characteristics who wreaked havoc in the cities of the modern world guided by Ana, a Green Peace activist turned terrorist. Taharai lived placidly in her Amazonian home behind a tall cascade with a series of caves encrusted with semiprecious slabs of amethyst and rose quartz. Her only link to the civilized world was Alan, a gold miner and farmer of the Amazon, who rendezvous with Ana at Juma Ecolodge. When Ana discovers the fabulous hunting ritual of her hostess, she publishes pictures of the nightcrawler in a scientific journal of ill repute Dr. Stephen Lindenburg, a megalomaniac geneticist, subscribes to. Dr. Lindenburg and his sidekick, Dr. Mario Seneti, set out to capture, study, and isolate the gene of mutation present in Taharai, envisioning a neo-Atlantis society in which one can choose any type of hybridization. But the now terrified and cornered Spiderwoman escapes their lab to survive according to her natural instincts, including hunting. Once in Ana's custody, her transformation into a conscious woman takes place, but not before she is used by her confused protector to perform acts of terrorism against the evils of the modern world alerting FBI and other law enforcement agencies of her whereabouts.

Sandcastles

by Teresita Terga (Author)

Category: Non-Fiction

Sandcastles is a collection of poems from 1978 to present day, 2017. In this journey, many have been my tribulations, visions, and dreams. Being aware and free to think, write, feel, and write along the way has been a blessing. It is the space between intuition and perception that is expressed in these poems first when I was a young adult and later on as during middle age. In between there was nothing coming out, but when I found myself again, the words and verses spilled out like a fountain of visions.
