About the book:
"Shooting Star” is a book which talks about passing away without mentioning it. It talks about that inexorable absence but at the same time, and after all, about the presence who came before it. About the memories and the rememberance together. The intent, from a very personal point of view, is to show that the blank space which left us that passing should be filled with all those unforgettable endearing moments, which are the ones that are going to left us with a smile on our faces.
