The Second Sin

Book Cover & Preview Text
(In a farmhouse located in the city of Wichita lived three girls with their dad.) Today I celebrate my 15th wedding anniversary and also my 5th anniversary since the tragic death of my wife. How could I forget this date ever, March 3, 1995? I had planned everything perfectly. I wanted to take her to a romantic picnic near a beautiful lake. I had already spent that afternoon with our three beautiful girls and taken them to their grandma’s house. I took a basket, a bottle of wine, two glasses to pour the wine into, a blanket, some fruit, and a radio with some old romantic cassettes. These cassettes were really special to her because it was music we heard and danced to back then when we were just a silly couple in love. That night she was beautiful; I think even more beautiful than the day we got married; believe me, when we married she looked radiant. That night she had on a white dress printed with colorful flowers. Her smell was of a pleasant aroma; of a flower, a rose; you could smell her from the distance of about a mile. Her eyes were so shiny and they sparkled; you could see the stars reflecting through them. I had some jeans on and a shirt she had just bought for me so that I could wear it on this special occasion. I wanted to surprise her in a very special way. She did not know where we were going. I remember her smile, her laugh, and her happiness. I could feel love; I could feel excitement; I could even say I felt God inside. I tied a handkerchief over her eyes so that she could not see. I wanted to surprise her and God knows I did. What a way to surprise her, what a way! I took her to the lake in our car, and we parked the car near the lake. The distance from the lake to the road was not far. We got out of the car and walked to a place near the lake in which a huge tree was nearby. I told her to wait, to wait for me standing there near the lake until I went back for something I had left behind in the car. I was going to bring the basket and the radio out to where she was standing. I brought it and placed it on the floor near her. I hugged her and kissed her on the neck, then I whispered in her ear, "I love you, wait for me here and don’t go anywhere because I left something back there". It was dark but the moon shined over our bodies as well as the water from the lake; it shined the moment; it shined in our hearts. I went to see if I could get some logs to start a fire near the lake. I had my flashlight but that was it, I had no other means of illuminating myself. I thought that it would be more romantic if I set a fire near the lake, more passionate, in a way that the heat of the fire resembled the heat that our hearts felt toward each other. I think this was the worst error I could have ever made in my entire life.

About the Book
A man faces a tragic death on Earth, leaving behind his three daughters. He "reincarnates" (in this case, reincarnation is linked to God) in a parallel world that Adam and Eve were expulsed from. God has given humanity a second chance to live in paradise. God has imposed another Sin that cannot be made because if it is made (by anyone), they will be expulsed in the same way that Adam and Eve were for committing the Original Sin. The man, named Joshua, has to choose if he wants to stay on paradise forever and live a divine human life or if he prefers to defy God and commit the Second Sin in order to visit his daughters for one last time. This book is about love, faith, death, and important lessons that apply to our lives. It tries to seek the reason of death and life itself. It is a book for all ages (teen and up) and for every religion. It is a book that is told from the author’s point of view. This means that what is told is not necessarily true. It gives the reader the opportunity to compare the lessons that appear on the book with the reader’s life. The reader decides whether or not to agree with what the author tries to say about people’s lives and about humanity itself. It is a book everyone must have.
About the Author
Hello, I come from the beautiful Island of Puerto Rico. I enjoy writing poetry and books on life itself. I love to write and philosophize about the good things and the bad things that life has to offer us. In this way, I express to the world my point of view on issues concerning life. I always try to leave space for my readers to analyze, agreed or not, on what I write and try to say. I love life, the ups and downs of it, and the fact that it is so complicated. I am always seeking the meaning of it and ways that I might enjoy it more. Besides writing, I love sports, nature, and a good chat with anybody on any subject. I accept any critique (constructive) on any matter; this way we will learn from each other and our lives will be more complete. Finally, I love to help people; so if there is anything I can do for you just contact me by email:
I majored in biology at U.P.R. University Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. I have self-published The Second Sin and have ten poems that are being published in "Nature’s Echoes," at poetry.com.
I am currently working as a teacher and I am a second-year law student.
