Reseña del libro "The Lake House (en Inglés)"
Lieutenant Carlos Vasquez is recuperating at his serene family cabin after a traumatic incident of war left him emotionally scarred. A hard and stoic man, he has spent his life believing that true happiness could never be attainable to a man like him. Having seen the world's grimmest realities, he harbors a cynical view of fate and has decided that a person's happiness is based on luck rather than whether they deserve it. A shell of a man, Carlos is shaken out of the grim pattern he lives when he encounters a young girl during a life-threatening incident. He is quickly pulled into her world of irresponsible rock star fathers and soft-hearted pastors. This colorful cast of new people in his life take Carlos on a series of events involving secret coves, fabulous birthday parties, and a long, dramatic, child custody battle. By chance, the wise-cracking girl is connected to a mysterious man from Carlos' past.

Having assumed the least in everyone, his perspective is challenged, but will it stay that way for long? Why is this mysterious man from his past in this girl's life, and what does he want from Carlos? Will he sacrifice the happiness of a little girl if he pursues happiness, or perhaps, something more? Assisting Carlos in his recovery and foibles in love is his force of nature grandmother, Abuela Maria, who has a history of war, love, and healing of her own.
