The River Travelers
LGBTQ Novel / Fiction
The setting could take place in any Latin American country. All that is needed is a forgotten town by the sea in contrast to the big city.
The River Travelers is a novel that transports us to the inner world of Gabriel Cano, a young city boy who, along with his family, grows up under the shade of a coastal refuge built by his father.
Unexpectedly, Lázaro, a local town boy, will take Gabriel on the journey of facing his true feelings and unravel the certainty of love, confusion and fear.

Notes from the author
Writing this book changed my life in thousands of ways, but most importantly, it was the medium I used to come out to my family as an LGBTQ person. The story is a confession disguised as fiction, where I collected childhood experiences and people from my life, to help my family identify themselves projected on paper.
Originally written in Spanish and now translated into English, "The River Travelers" gave me a voice as an unsecured LGBTQ person from Venezuela, allowing me to open up through the story of a conflicted boy from childhood to adulthood, immersed in the heart of the Caribbean. I hope others can find support and warmth on those pages, where the final message is: "You are not alone and there will always be people who support you".
