Followed by a migration to the United States in 1962 as an unaccompanied minor, a historical chapter that later would be known as the Pedro Pan Children.
Soon after the father bid farewell to the son, the regime of Fidel Castro sentenced him to a 20-year prison term to serve at the Isla de Pinos concentration camp.

Lazaro Agustin Alvarez was born on August 28, 1947 in the island of Cuba, now a US citizen residing in Miami, Florida, USA. He is a freelance writer and the author of Stills: Moments in Time - AuthorHouse Publisher.
The autobiography book idea began over ten years ago with the objective of providing his two daughters a true depiction of who their father is in this world. His inner feelings since an early age were always a well-kept secret. The marriage ended in divorce, where separation from the children during their early years generated many personal conflicts in his new phase in life.
Stills became a serious undertaking, where reliving negative as well as positive moments became challenges to document. Both daughters received copies of the books private version during August of 2008, where at that moment, the author considered the project objectives fulfilled.
During the assembly phase of the private book version, selective family members and friends of the author performing the revisions, suggested him to publish the book to the public. They felt that sections of the information contained in its chapters have historical value, and the personal events could provide insight to someone facing similar life situations. This gave the author the needed boost to pursue the new goal.
