Amazing book by our own Happy Lee Del Canto

Amazing book by our own Happy Lee Del Canto
(she posts as Margo Romero on this blog...see this post, for example) now on Amazon Kindle (or free readers) here.

 Sorry, only in Spanish..so it's a great excuse to learn that heavenly tongue if you don't know it.

Happy comments:

The novel I wrote with my friend, based on the experience he lived and suffered inside a Chilean seminary (abuse, love, betrayal) is now available for purchase on Amazon... Spanish only. The protagonists of the most sordid events still hold positions of power inside the Catholic Church. My friend, Víctor, has been interviewed on TV for a major show, denouncing these very events .
