Julia, at thirty-two years old, believes she has it all, until her girlfriend leaves her.
Fears, silences, and lies were part of their life together, and although there was a lot of love, no relationship flourishes if the root is rotten.
This is the story of a journey, a path back in which Julia will try to heal her wounds to win back the woman she loves.
Sexuality, motherhood, family relationships, and the search for one’s own identity intertwine in this novel with heartbreaking sensitivity.
There are closets that are very hard to escape. There are love stories that can save us.
