Overview
Reyes Monforte vuelve a sumergirse en una emotiva historia sobre el amor en las circunstancias más adversas. Originalmente publicada en 2008, esta novela trata del caso de la abogada valenciana M.ª José Carrascosa, encarcelada en 2006 en una prisión de New Jersey por no renunciar a la custodia de su hija.
Su historia comenzó en 1998, cuando se casó con un estadounidense que había conocido por internet. Cuando empezó a descubrir las mentiras que envolvían su apacible vida, ya tenían una hija en común y era demasiado tarde. A partir de ese momento, Peter, su marido, se convertiría en el objeto de sus pesadillas. Poco a poco, M.ª José fue destapando la verdad sobre el hombre del que se había enamorado: averiguó que tenía antecedentes penales por drogas, había utilizado varias identidades falsas y la había estado envenenando con pesticidas y fármacos durante su matrimonio, como ya había hecho con tres de sus anteriores parejas, aunque él siempre lo negó. La española fue arrestada en Estados Unidos por haber sacado a su hija del país sin autorización y fue condenada a catorce años de prisión.
En esta edición actualizada, se narra su infernal estancia en prisión, su lucha contra la justicia estadounidense y su esperado regreso a España en 2017.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Courage, sacrifice, and the most powerful feeling in the world: a mother’s 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 María José 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 María José 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, María José 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.
