Publisher's Synopsis
ROSA MARIA MIRANDA 70, returns to Los Angeles to search for JUAN CARLOS LAMAS to fulfill a dream that has been brewing in her mind for the last thirty five years. She finds him in the gutter, ravaged by alcoholism. Her love for him mixed with a sense of pity, resurrects with the same passion she had felt at their first encounter, and she swears to do anything and everything left in her, to help him recover. Her only resource: the power of her love, believing that its strength will conquer every obstacle in their way to happiness. She doesn't count on the demons that have invaded him or the struggles and risk she must endure. A flash back in part one is full of emotion, passion, agony, triumph and defeat. To some readers the story's heroine may sound as a selfish, dysfunctional promiscuous, but she is a woman who refuses to be intimidated by the consequences she knows her foolishness may bring to her life. She feels she must take the challenge in order to find the happiness she imagines waits for her despite her advancing age. To the very young, love in old age seems a ridicule, or even grotesque. The result is a moving eulogy and a tribute to romantic love in our old age.
