Returning to my hometown with a book in my hands meant coming back transformed. Not only as a daughter of Bogotá, but as a writer born from the soul.

The official launch of Perdonar o Morir was a profoundly magical moment. I was surrounded by my family, friends, and my Spanish teacher—who instilled in me the love for writing and wrote the book’s prologue—as well as by my literary manager, with whom I wove a masterful presentation at the FCE María Mercedes Carranza bookstore.

That day I felt welcomed, inspired, and deeply accompanied.
