About the Book
This is the story of a great lie between members of a middle class family: the Daniels. The direction of their lives changed dramatically as a result of a marriage and the birth of a child. The Daniels’s alcohol dependency, the Powell’s unhealthy influence, a priest’s spiritual failure, erodes the weak structure which apparently sustains the moral principles of our characters, when they fall into a vast web woven into disloyalty, revenge and lust. Overwhelmed by the devastating result of their acts, they realized, but not until much later, that they had been their only victims for wanting to control the lives of others with the sole purpose of satisfying their harmful intentions. Reduced to living in constant turbidity, they did not suspect that inner reconciliation and redemption were hidden from the beginning, behind love.
I would like to add a credit for the artist Jorge Posada, who provided his paintings for the covers of both books.
