    "Sacred Spaces" is beautiful .There are rich photos of homes from the inside to the outside. It is a very different book. Sixteen people are interviewed. The interviews are a weaving of why their home is there castle. Each person is telling their story from a different location.. One true story will make an artist excited. The home is in Arles. When I see that name, I can only think of Vincent Van Gogh. My eyes grow wider as I relive his life through another person's thoughts. The book is also is about how a trial or struggle brought them to the place where they are today.. It is a book of sharing. Through seeing inside their homes and r hearing about their pain and victories, you can begin to feel and remember serendipitous moments at your address.

Maria Purificacion has never met her siblings.If so, she was too young to remember them. Now it's time.On the way to Ecuador she and her husband,Cristobal are attacked. Cristobal is stabbed in the stomach and dies in the ocean. Because  of inherited assets someone wants Puri murdered also. Puri is determined to find the murderer.No matter his motive he must pay for taking Cristobal from her.    In "The Spanish Daughter"by Lorena Hughes, Ecuador is described as 'enchanting.' Perhaps, this fairy like forest helps Puri's mind. She makes up a plan. She will introduce herself  to the family as Christobal. She is a strong woman. She is a woman who grieves but does not cease looking for justice.
