Querido Don Benito: El amor que salvó a la patria
by Pedro J. FernándezEsta extraordinaria novela recrea la vida de una mujer que se ganó su lugar en la historia, y de su lucha para que México pudiera defender su soberanía como país. El 31 de mayo de 1863, Benito Juárez huyó de la capital en compañía de su familia y de sus colaboradores más cercanos. Eran perseguidos por las tropas francesas que habían invadido el país, y que apoyarían el Segundo Imperio Mexicano, encabezado por Maximiliano de Habsburgo y Carlota de Bélgica. Fueron tiempos de guerra para México. Durante un año, el carruaje negro de Juárez recorrió el norte del país, tenían miedo de ser descubiertos. En más de una ocasión libraron los ataques; aquélla era una situación sumamente peligrosa para toda la familia. Por eso, en el verano de 1864, se tomó la decisión de que su esposa, Margarita Maza (a días de haber dado a luz), y sus hijos más pequeños, se refugiaran en Estados Unidos. Desde aquel forzado exilio, Margarita Maza escribe cartas a su esposo para narrar sus dramáticas experiencias en una patria ajena, y sus aportes para luchar contra el gobierno impuesto de Maximiliano de Habsburgo. Además, recuerda cómo fue que se enamoró de don Benito y los obstáculos que han tenido que vencer para permanecer juntos.

El mundo alrededor de Oliver Watson parece disolverse cuando Sarah, su esposa durante dieciocho años, regresa a Harvard para graduarse.

Cuando la madre de Oliver muere, su padre también ha cambiado: más osado que su hijo y con menos tiempo por vivir, George Watson, a sus setenta y dos años, pronto reencontrará el amor y, eventualmente, un nuevo matrimonio. Ben, el hijo mayor de Oliver, rechaza a su padre, decidido a forjarse su propia educación. Melissa, la hija mediana, culpa a Oliver por la partida de su madre. Y Sam, el benjamín, se encuentra demasiado afectado como para soportarlo. A partir de ahora, será papá quien deba lidiar con nuevas responsabilidades, nuevas mujeres, nuevas experiencias. Nada es como antes, nada es como ellos creyeron alguna vez que sería. Pero finalmente lo diferente es mejor, lo diferente es más, para cada uno de ellos... Y especialmente para el querido papá. Reseña:«Steel demuestra estar en su mejor forma al conducir a Oliver por el nuevo y aterrador mundo de la paternidad en solitario, las mujeres modernas y unas costumbres sexuales radicalmente cambiadas, antes de virar a un encomio de la vida familiar y lo romántico.»Publishers Weekly
