Josefa Ferrer, a famed Chilean singer, narrates the story of her best friend, Violeta, a woman who has suffered a brutal and violent tragedy, in an insightful tale of friendship, betrayal, disillusionment, grief, and second chances, in the first American paperback publication of a novel by the accl Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
