Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice.A portion of the proceeds of this book will go to charity to help in Stevenson's important work to benefit the voiceless and the vulnerable as they attempt to navigate the broken U.S. justice system.

Sofía Valentina Seijas Delgado, nacida el 9 de julio del año 2007. Durante la pandemia, descubrió su verdadero propósito: la escritura. A lo largo de su vida pensó que nada la hacía especial, hasta que se propuso escribir un libro a los trece años. Nunca penso que podria sorprender a alguien con su literatura cuando a los seis años empezo a escribir cuentos de fantasia, monstruos y aventuras. Tenia una gran imaginacion y se inventaba cientos de historias solo viendo un objeto o analizando la personalidad de alguien. Se aventuro a escribir este libro solo por diversion, pero tambien para concienciar a los padres sobre el abandono y rechazo a sus hijos, que puede desencadenar graves consecuencias que afectaran al futuro de estos. Ademas, pretende erradicar los prejuicios hacia todas las personas, ya que podriamos llevarnos una ingrata sorpresa.
