When Ezequiel was diagnosed with AIDS, he was left alone, without family or friends, who turned their backs on him. His life was full of disdainful looks and reproaches. The only things that helped him cope with the disease were his husky dog Sacha, his cello and the sudden appearance of his younger brother, who gave him the support, acceptance and love that Ezequiel needed all these years…
This book is more than a story about a boy with AIDS who reunites with his younger brother. It is a story that shows the importance of trust in a family and how everything falls apart when you are not accepted.
