I have finished this novel, which I began to write fifteen years ago. When the coronavirus pandemic ravaged the world, I feared I would die without publishing this work. So far, I have survived it. I breathed great relief with its publication on July 7, 2021. This novel tells a story where the eternal subjects of love, God, religion, and homeland converge. It unfolds in the foreground of Hispanic Immigration, highlighting the fight to pursue happiness in a foreign land.
A summary follows:
A religious married man falls head over heels for another woman. His obligations toward God and his wife prevail. But an event shatters his beliefs and compels him to decide between both women.
Salvador, a Mexican seminarian, abandons his studies to marry Rosa. In 1982, when the enamored couple expects their first child, their shop goes bankrupt. The loss urges him to migrate to the US. He promises to reunite his wife and their child with him as soon as possible. On his way to an L station in Chicago, Salvador witnesses an assault on Elisa, a coworker. He rushes to her aid and suffers life-threatening knife wounds. Salvador falls in love with Elisa. But family duties and obedience to God prompt him to leave her and bring Rosa and their child to the US. Salvador fights an uphill battle to forget the other woman. Then, an unexpected occurrence rocks his marriage and religious faith and forces him to choose between Rosa and Elisa.
