The Absence: The secret of the children when their parents are gone by Karina Rodríguez Mayorga

“I was just a child and, as such, I just wanted to play and to have a normal life like everyone else. I wanted a united family, a family that thought about me and cared about me, but I was always alone.”Through these pages, we will get to know Lupita, a young girl who will tell us her life story. She will make us notice the consequences that the lack of healthy communication can bring to families, the importance of making our children feel loved and protected, and also the fact that adults need to heal their own wounds in order to be able to understand their children’s needs.Karina Mayorga was born on November 24th of 1981 in Guadalajara, Jalisco.The author of the book “Fragments of a Crystal” brings us now “Absence: The Secret of Children When their Parents are Gone”Her studies include several creative-writing courses, since her deeper desire and inspiration is to be able to use her own words to share a supportive message to all those families that may feel related to her stories.
