Episode 1

First of all, I would like to explain to you how I came up with this idea.

Well, the idea for this novel was born about 15 years ago.

Once my mom told me a story about a woman.

This lady was the mother of one of my elementary school classmates, she had a stepmother, I always thought it was her mother.

But when I was about 20 years old, my mother told me that the lady in front of our vegetable stand was actually my classmate's real mother.

She told me that when she had her last child with her husband, the father of my classmate, he abandoned her because the baby that was born had different physical characteristics than his.

In other words, he was a dark-haired, dark-eyed Moreno man, and the baby was born with white skin, light eyes, and blondish hair, so he thought it was not his son since he looked nothing like him, so it hadn't even been a day since the baby was born and the man dragged the lady and the baby out, accusing her of having been unfaithful to him.

He ran her off and did not allow her to see her two older children who did inherit their father's physical characteristics.

That's how she had to leave with a newborn baby, she had just given birth, and by the time this story was told to me, the baby was already a 17-year-old boy.

When I met him, his skin was a little white, his eyes were no longer so light, they had darkened a bit, and his hair was still light brown.

When I asked my mom, she told me that the baby really looked like his maternal grandfather since his maternal grandfather had that description, he was blond, light-eyed, and tall.

And then I got to thinking about my own little sister, when she was born and until she was 3 years old, she had fair skin with big, light eyes, also honey brown, and blond hair.

A golden blond like rays of sunshine. Over time, as she grew, her eyes remained the same color, her skin darkened a bit but was still whiter than mine, and her hair turned jet black, her appearance changed as she grew.

And that's when it occurred to me that it would be a novel inspired by these two stories.

Because if we think about the world, regardless of the era, social class, and regardless of culture, this type of situation happens a lot.

Even these days many people think that because a baby doesn't look like them, it's not their child, in fact, I've recently experienced it too, I live with a partner, we share expenses, she has three children.

The last one was born with fair skin, not to say that he is blond but he is brown but lighter, his father since he was born said that he was not his son.

Of course, there was someone envious who put ideas in his head to make him suspicious, so by believing her he refused to give him his last names saying that he was not his baby.

Now that the boy is 6 years old, many say that he looks a lot like his father, it could be true although I don't pay much attention to him because I say if he wanted a clone he would have photocopied himself and that way he would have gotten one.

Children are not clones, they are different people, sometimes looking like one is pure luck because it is not always like that, a child has both parents and uncles, whether from the father or mother, grandparents, great-grandparents, and many other ancestors and could look like any.

Or it could be the perfect combination of all of them, that's why the idea for this novel came to me.

I am going to set it in the colonial era of Mexico, at first I am not going to use dates, or I'm not quite sure yet if I will use dates but I will more or less place them.

I hope you like it and if you think that at some point I get lost while writing, please leave me a comment and I will try to review and fix what is not right, thank you.

Another thing, this will be my second novel that I write but I still haven't finished the previous one so the safest thing is that I will be uploading one chapter a day, if I'm lucky maybe two, but since there are already two novels, don't despair.

I will be updating both at the same time, such as one day one and another day the other.

Unless I am very tired, sick or have visitors, in which case I would have to dedicate time to my visitors. Besides, when I write, I do it at night since I have a job and writing is a hobby, besides, as I already told you, this novel occurred to me a long time ago.

And since that time it hasn't left my head and I think it's a good idea to capture it, I hope you like it.

Without further ado, I thank you for your support, ah, and if you have read something similar, please give me the information or the title to review it and try not to be the same after all, I don't think I am the only one who has come up with a similar idea.

Remember that great minds think alike, well that's what my chemistry teacher used to say. See you soon, please enjoy reading.

Thanks for your attention and keep reading.....
