The Lighthouse of Souls
Winner at the 2015 International Latino Book Awards
What is a lighthouse of souls? It's the light that guides
Leo and his grandpa over distant seas, to discover those who wait every night for a gentle word to help them fall asleep with a smile on their lips.
The Lighthouse of Souls is not only a tender tale of the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren, but also between all of those who look for something they share in common: a light that guides them towards hope.
