Una colección de impresiones y sueños que exploran emociones y experiencias en los límites de la trascendencia, la magia y el amor.

After three years of marriage my wife and I wound up divorcing. Things were happening too fast; we didn't learn to compromise, to support each other. We found ourselves in an epic battle (the black widow and the scorpion), a turbulent deconstructive relationship of selfish wants and personal needs on both our parts. I had hate and fury in my heart, and spent the next eighteen years of my life being enemies with the woman I once loved. Yet through all my turmoil, when everyone in my life turned their back on me, it was my ex-wife who opened her door and once again warmed my heart.....only to shut it again.

Set in the transformative South Bronx of the 1960s, the story follows young David Pérez, a Puerto Rican boy navigating life in the Millbrook housing projects. As he prepares to transition to St. Luke's Catholic School, he grapples with profound questions about faith and existence, exemplified by his innocent inquiry about God. The narrative explores themes of identity, cultural change, and the challenges faced by a child in a shifting urban landscape.
