This book starts with the present times and goes into the near future which is a first for Carlos. It is about dreams and fulfillment. It is about being true to your friends and your own code of life. It is about realization and expectation. There are the usual wonderful trips to wonderful locales, delightfully described with authentic touches. There is terrible sadness and heartbreak and also moving on from a love. Hope and joy are also in abundance and the final two chapters are particularly wonderful.
If you haven''t had a chance to put this story and the whole series on your reading list, do so. It is well worth the time as I whole-heartedly endorse it.
