Summary:

"A partir de diecinueve fotografías de Nueva York, la autora narra la vida de Lola, una joven a quien su madre dejó a los ocho años para perseguir una carrera como actriz en la Gran Manzana. Marcada por este abandono primigenio, Lola ha vivido una vida de complejos y carencia emocional. Todo cambia cuando recibe la llamada de un desconocido que le advierte de que su madre ha desaparecido y se embarca en la difícil labor de hallar a una mujer que apenas conoce. El viaje de Lola será hacia lo más profundo de la esencia humana y de sí misma. Una travesía donde no todo es lo que parece."--Amazon.com

Building on nineteen photographs in New York, the author tells the story of Lola, a girl whose mother left her at the age of eight to pursue an acting career in the Big Apple. Scarred by her early experience of abandonment, Lola lives an emotionally empty and neurotic life. Everything changes when she gets a call from a stranger reporting that her mother has disappeared. Suddenly, she finds herself in the position of tracking down woman she barely knows. Her quest leads her deep inside herself and the essence of what it means to be human, on a journey where nothing is as it seems.
