Fiercely independent, Catalina dreams of building a life with her childhood love. But when a devastating fire ruins her family's silkworm farm, she’s forced into a loveless marriage and a journey across the sea to Cuba aboard a doomed ocean liner.A century later, in 2019, journalist Mara Denis travels to La Palma to cover a modern-day disaster near the island. But the trip becomes personal when her mother asks her to find a long-lost birth certificate. Long haunted by the sea and plagued by dreams of a daughter she’s never had, Mara begins to uncover a hidden family history that centers on Catalina, her great-grandmother who, she soon discovers, is listed among the dead in the infamous Valbanera shipwreck. As Mara follows Catalina’s trail across Spain, Cuba, and Key West, she unearths a story of forbidden love and resilience that echo through six generations.Mirta Ojito is a journalist, professor and author of two previous non-fiction books. She is the recipient of an Emmy for the documentary Harvest of Misery as well as a shared Pulitzer for national reporting in 2001, for a series of New York Times articles on race. A refugee from Cuba, her work often explores the complexities of identity, belonging, and the quiet power of resilience. She lives in Coral Gables, Florida, where she is endlessly inspired—and occasionally outnumbered—by her three grown sons and too many plants. Deeper than the Ocean is her first novel. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/st-petersburg/deeper-than-the-ocean-an-evening-with-mirta-ojuto/100001731136278209 - **Event Categories**: sports, health-wellness, art, literary-art, trips-adventures, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fdeeper-than-the-ocean-an-evening-with-mirta-ojuto-tickets-1731136278209 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: St. Petersburg - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: Tombolo Books - **lat**: 27.7703894 - **long**: -82.662684 - **full address**: Tombolo Books, 2153 1st Avenue South, St. Petersburg, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Tombolo Books (https://allevents.in/org/tombolo-books/19207865) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d6557e19eaedb938619f5046c15eaa2296f76eac0e4db938d1efc4ad1643a96d-rimg-w1200-h571-dcd8a02f-gmir.jpg?v=1759006221 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d41a986df48fc1fe02637e151e800bd19a3cc0380f785550a1d7b4c42246198a-rimg-w400-h400-dcd89f2f-gmir.jpg?v=1759006220 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Mon, 17 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Tombolo Books, 2153 1st Avenue South, St. Petersburg, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Tombolo Books - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** sports, health-wellness, art, literary-art, trips-adventures, meditation - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Deeper Than The Ocean - An Evening with Mirta Ojuto ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Deeper Than The Ocean - An Evening with Mirta Ojuto", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d6557e19eaedb938619f5046c15eaa2296f76eac0e4db938d1efc4ad1643a96d-rimg-w1200-h571-dcd8a02f-gmir.jpg?v=1759006221", "startDate": "2025-11-17", "endDate": "2025-11-17", "url": "https://allevents.in/st-petersburg/deeper-than-the-ocean-an-evening-with-mirta-ojuto/100001731136278209", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Tombolo Books", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "2153 1st Avenue South", "postalCode": "33712", "addressLocality": "St. Petersburg", "addressRegion": "FL", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "27.7703894", "longitude": "-82.662684" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Pulitzer Prize winning journalist celebrates debut novel at Tombolo Books!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-17", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/st-petersburg/deeper-than-the-ocean-an-evening-with-mirta-ojuto/100001731136278209" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/st-petersburg/deeper-than-the-ocean-an-evening-with-mirta-ojuto/100001731136278209", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Tombolo Books", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/tombolo-books/19207865", "description": "We are St. Petersburg's new Indie Bookstore in the Grand Central District.
