In France (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781773709468)

Federico Valenzuela is a Los Angeles native who is fed up with the responsibilities of his mundane life. It's when he finds out about a study abroad program in Europe that he sees a way out. He begins to feel hopeful and alive again, something he hasn't felt in years. It's in France that Federico finds meaning in the world. In Paris, he discovers the inner workings of society while also discovering the inner truths of his heart. Truths that have been buried deep inside him are revealed to him in the city of light. He explores his identity, sexuality, and finds purpose in existence. He discovers that choices have consequences, self-reliance is the epitome of trust, and that self-love is the only kind of love that can possibly save his soul.
