Personal Life

He waits impatiently and fretfully for his wife Veronica to come home from art class, introspecting on his past relationship with Karla, the nature of love and family structures, as well as picturing Daniela at different stages in her life. This book contains beautiful poetic prose and an introspective view into human relationships, offering an intriguing analysis of stepfather-daughter relationships. Additionally, this work of fiction tries out form and style with great success while offering insight into step fathers’ affection for their daughters.
