in Santa Teresa is the setting for Teo´s reflections upon his existence. But how can

of childhood events that led him up to
that point in his life? The story encourages youngsters to escape from their
youth and put themselves in the shoes of
adults. As for the adult reader, this is an

observation of the fun and exciting universe of a
group of students and their desires and findings at
such a special period in our lives!!

cabin at the mountain, a cliff, a body falling down. Who would push Lisa Sky from

so he can prove he is innocent and find
out who was capable of committing such
evil to the girl he loved so much! Despite
being innocent, the young teenager has
to admit to everyone: in moments of anger, he has the uncanny power to do anything he wants. Will the detective who is
investigating the crime, his schoolmates
and his relatives understand his ordeal?

She has published six novels and received several

books have also been published abroad. Maintains
a fortnightly column in the newspaper O Popular,
and was founding partner and director of Marco
Zero Publisher. She has a degree in Communication
and Anthropology and a Master of Political Science.
Unveiling contradictions and paradoxes of the creative act, the book weaves
deep considerations about the writing
process. Where do stories come from?
How are they told? When are they released into the world? In addition to
these issues, the book is also about the
specifics that are involved in a writer’s
job, the cultural industry and the intricate
relationship between literature and history. To cross “this street of knowledge”
and address myths as inspiration, sexual
persona, or the habit of chance capture
and observation of the world, Maria José
gathered testimonials by fellow writers
Ivana Arruda Leite, Luiz Bras, Índigo, Marcelino Freire, Rodrigo Lacerda, among
several others. Believing that “the fascination for extraordinary stories is part of
her nature,” Maria José pays a tribute to
Mallarme, the French poet, and quotes:
“Everything in the world exists in order
to end up as a book.”
