Twins is set in the interior of Mato Grosso and the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia. In the plot, two newborn twin sisters are sold by their mother and therefore separated at birth. The girls' father, learning of the deal, is killed while he tries to prevent it. The plot, based on these fatalities, is full of seemingly occasional situations that mark the lives of mother and daughters until the inevitable reunion occurs. The story, which begins in the mid-1980s, shows how spirituality can interfere with our earthly lives and teaches us that coincidences, synchronicity, and coincidences are nothing more than the application of perfect cosmic laws that God created for help us on the trajectory of our evolution. The ignorance of spirituality; however, often prevents us from having a more real vision of life and how generous it is, always favoring our growth. After all, life collaborates with our development, but it requires each one to do their part. Author with over 2 million copies sold!

Heart  Impulses

Nothing replaces the experience. However, when you rush to judge the attitudes of others according to your own standards, you believe that you are in possession of the truth. How delusional! How can you know what is happening inside others? How can you evaluate the emotions you have never felt? How can you know what goes beyond appearances? How can you find out the limits of your resistance and some temptations, if you have never been tempted? Vanity makes us believe that you know the best solution for the problems of others. Life's wisdom tries to show the relativism of your judgment, working your intelligence in many ways, but if you resist, attached to your own concepts, a situation like the one you criticized appears in your life, so that, FEELING IN YOUR SKIN, you can understand this relativism and learn to respect the privacy of others.

Feeling In Your  Skin

This is the end of the trilogy that began with the book "Eeeling in One's skin" passing through "Love is not to be played with" until arriving at this one, "Memories that the wing brings" that closes the history of the Sales from Albuquerque and the slave Toña, who was linked to them by ties of love and hate from the past. The sequence of events, which began 200 years ago, ends in Cabo Frio (Cape Cold), the birthplace of my grandfather Edmundo, who introduced Leonel to the real characters, in spirit, so that he could bring his story as an example to us all. But the story is not his, nor was he the one who lived it. His characters are people he once knew, even though he had no closer relationship with any of them. Those were things of small towns, at the end of the 19th century, where everyone knew each other, at least by name or when they found out about it. As my grandfather told me, they are a family like many others, but whose truths we do not know. No one ever knew about the drama that took place in that house, and, for the city's inhabitants, they were just people who lived there, halfway through everything and everyone. Quiet and unimportant people, who did not attract anyone's attention. But the death of the body awakens these truths and then is when we see that they will never be unimportant. Mônica de Castro
