Joseph L. Borkson is a physician who practices and resides in Philadelphia. He has made countless trips to the Dominican Republic in search of her history, her culture and her enchanting places. His previous book was Philadelphia, an American Paris.

The Dominican Republic is a country I have fallen in love with, not only for its beauty but for the warmth of her people. Joseph Borkson has written the most wonderful book capturing the essence of this unique country and is a must read for an insight into the opening chapters of American history.
