A Fuego Lento

Are you so sure you know your children well? Is it worth losing your family for friends and social media? In A fuego lento, Noemí Saiz immerses us in a vibrant novel that masterfully intertwines the worlds of youth and adulthood, creating a story that is as real as it is moving. Marta Gutiérrez Martín, an exemplary preteen, begins to distance herself from her family when she secretly starts using a cell phone that connects her to new friends... and a double life. What begins as a game ends up leading her into toxic relationships, lies, and behavior that baffles her parents. When the truth and the reasons behind this change come to light, her parents consult an old family friend, the director of an educational center. They then change Marta's school, and she begins an inner journey that leads her to rebuild herself, forgive herself, and rediscover the true value of family, authentic friendship, and sincere love. A fuego lento is a deeply human novel that addresses current issues such as social media, peer pressure, forgiveness, the power of second chances, and the role of parents in their children's education. All this is done with a delicate Christian perspective that does not impose, but rather proposes with elegance and depth. Perfect for young readers looking for stories with soul, and for parents who want to better understand the challenges of adolescence. An engaging read that entertains, questions, and, above all, teaches without lecturing. "A fuego lento was born out of the need to explain part of what life is to my eldest daughter. It is a book about adolescence, about wounds that are not always visible, about love that persists... and about forgiveness." Noemí Saiz, author of the book.
