"The same way it displays similarities, it also shows us the differences, that in this case do not create discrepancies if not are colors that contribute to give equlibrium and strength to the portrait painted by the author. Two cities, two sceneries, two histories and only one heart. This book is an exercise of the love which stands on the basic points of societies: faith, liberty, patriotism, family, dignity, and strong vocation for liberty. This book is a tribute to the birth city and to the city that has adopted her and in which has materialized the purpose of her life." -- Kin Sanchez Fernandez -- from back cover.
