Paperback. Valentia, sacrificio y el sentimiento mas poderoso del mundo: el amor de una madre por su hija. Reyes Monforte vuelve a sumergirse en una emotiva historia sobre el amor en las circunstancias mas adversas. Originalmente publicada en 2008, esta novela trata del caso de la abogada valenciana M.a Jose Carrascosa, encarcelada en 2006 en una prision de New Jersey por no renunciar a la custodia de su hija. Su historia comenzo en 1998, cuando se caso con un estadounidense que habia conocido por internet. Cuando empezo a descubrir las mentiras que envolvian su apacible vida, ya tenian una hija en comun y era demasiado tarde. A partir de ese momento, Peter, su marido, se convertiria en el objeto de sus pesadillas. Poco a poco, M.a Jose fue destapando la verdad sobre el hombre del que se habia enamorado: averiguo que tenia antecedentes penales por drogas, habia utilizado varias identidades falsas y la habia estado envenenando con pesticidas y farmacos durante su matrimonio, como ya habia hecho con tres de sus anteriores parejas, aunque el siempre lo nego. La espanola fue arrestada en Estados Unidos por haber sacado a su hija del pais sin autorizacion y fue condenada a catorce anos de prision. En esta edicion actualizada, se narra su infernal estancia en prision, su lucha contra la justicia estadounidense y su esperado regreso a Espana en 2017.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONCourage, sacrifice, and the most powerful feeling in the world: a mothers love for her daughter. Reyes Monforte explores a new heartwarming story about love in the most adverse circumstances. First published in 2008, this novel looks at Valencian lawyer Maria Jose Carrascosa, imprisoned in New Jersey in 2006 for not relinquishing custody of her daughter. Her story began in 1998, when she married an American that she had met online. When Maria Jose began unraveling all the lies around her seemingly peaceful life, they already had a daughter and it was too late. From that moment on, Peter, her husband, would turn into a nightmare. Little by little, Maria Jose uncovered the truth about the man she had fallen in love with: she found out he had a criminal record for possession, had used several fake IDs, had been poisoning her with pesticides and drugs during their marriage, as he had done with three of his former partners, though he always denied this. The Spanish woman was arrested in the United States for taking her daughter out of the country unauthorized and was condemned to fourteen years in prison. This updated edition tells of her hellish time in prison, her fight against the American courts, and her long-awaited return to Spain in 2017.
