For Francisco (special edition - 10 years later)

Cris Guerra transforms the empty experience of loss into a reunion. This edition features previously unseen photos and additional content.

"Death is the only certainty in life, even though we spend our entire lives pretending it doesn't exist." This is one of the many reflections Cris Guerra left for her son, Francisco, after the death of the boy's father two months before his birth. Initially conceived as a blog, Para Francisco was the author's way of coping with her loss and telling her son about his late father. In a poetic and moving way, Cris discusses her life and routine as a widow and mother, including family photos and emails exchanged with her son's father, while also addressing longing, grief, strength, and overcoming. Her story is deeply inspiring, and this is a book that shows readers how love has a powerful healing power and the ability to help us through even the most difficult times.
