When the sky breaks and the stars fall
Rose Lake. The story and plots
It all starts and ends at Rose Lake. A small town of a thousand people in the mountains of Oregon, USA. It is a natural site with few places and a lot of activities where the people who inhabit it form a community: a cozy restaurant, contests and auctions, unique moments for people who seek peace and have a quiet life.
There, in Rose Lake, a story is born with characters who have their own opinion about the town. Maia, for example, is a bit loose and contrasts with the singular harmony of the place. She rebels against a mother whom she considers guilty of her greatest misfortune, and now she is forced to start a new life in a lost town in the United States, far from Spain and from everything she knew until now. .
Vera is the mother of Maia, who will have to adapt to a new situation while dealing with a daughter who is very hurt. Getting over her father's death and facing a move won't be easy for her either.. Max, Maia's father, awaits them at Rose Lake. The arrival of two strangers to the small town also means the opening of some secrets.
Once they arrive at Rose Lake, Maia will meet Martin, her uncle, and Kellan, a boy from the town. He will be especially important in Maia's life and the two of them will become two strong pillars for the story within the biology. Cherry Chic tries to create a plot that is not, however, cloistered in just two important characters. Vera and Martin are relevant, as well as the secondary characters that are coming into the lives of Maia and her mother. A story built on the basis of different points of view unfolds in a town appreciated by its inhabitants.
A sensitive novel
in CWhen the sky breaks and the stars fall the narrative fabric is very important, with its characters and space. But, in addition, the novel is characterized by a start that will leave the reader speechless. A little nothing more than what is to come. For this reason, the place is also important, because it is presented without any kind of conflict, but the writer anticipates that Rose Lake will undergo her own transformation. Cherry Chic is in charge of dazzling the reader from the prologue with this story where the typical American space will cheer the readers who wish to travel to the narrative country par excellence.
A homosexual relationship of Max, Maia's father, also appears in the story. A gesture that undoubtedly seeks the acceptance and normalization of same-sex relationships. However, it is still relevant, since Max does not have such a leading level in the novel. He grants a certain degree of nobility and sensitivity in a romantic book, where one can expect more than the story of a single love relationship.
