I loved this book, I think Maria was a victim of this man at 13 years old and think alot of her issues were just not recognised in time due to her age. I wish her son Sebastion, Juana & Angles and the new baby Juan to lead a normal life and to spread the message as much as they can to the younger generation to keep out of the evil destructive world of drugs. And they have already have done so..but I would encourage them to keep going. May you have a normal and peaceful life from now on...and no you should never be judged by another mans actions...
