Una novela corta sobre una señora pobre a quien se le roba su hija recién nacida en el hospital. Bueno, le dicen que murió pero no le dan ni las cenizas y cuando se pone a investigar, descubre la verdad: que no es la única a quien se le ha ocurrido y que juntas las víctimas pueden efectuar un cambio. Me gustó.

A short novel about a woman whose newborn baby is stolen from her in the hospital. Well, they tell her the baby died and was cremated but they don't give her the ashes and she doesn't believe it. When she begins to investigate, she discovers the truth: that she's not the only one it has happened to and that together the victims can bring about change. I liked it. It's not long (169 pp.), it moves quickly, and the Spanish is straightforward enough that a person with 3 or 4 years of high school Spanish (2 in college) could read it and enjoy it.
