When Martin meets Paola during a business trip to Chile, he is charmed by her sensibility and simplicity. But living in different countries, everything points out that they will never see each other again; however, a series of magical events will make them fall in love and plan a future together. Love leads them to accept the challenge of transforming an old and abandoned lighthouse that overlooks the Pacific Ocean into their dream house; and without planning it, they meet an old man that will change their lives forever: the guardian of the light. A wonderful love story that encourages us to trust the power of love: capable to overcome prejudices, distance, and all the impossible odds that can only be overcome by crossing the crystal walls that life and society places in our hearts and in our minds.

A comet that teaches the Sun that love is the most important gift of life; a butterfly that late in life discovers that true beauty resides within ones heart; A child that wants to fly his kite so high that it will reach the skies... With simple, yet deep stories, Sergio Bambaren gives us a lifes lesson that we should never forget: "Beware how you see the world, because the world will be exactly as you see it."

Routine is a quiet, peaceful enemy. Day by day it conquers new territories of ones soul until theres no desire left to fight against it. Michael and Gail, a young married couple, were just realizing the silent march of routine creeping in their lives and killing their love, when Michael brought home a book of poems with more than poetry in it. That book was the decisive factor for them to give up their comfortable but sad life and embark on a dream they had cherished for long: to travel the South Pacific aboard of an old sailing boat. But more is to come: Thomas Blake, an old librarian who owns a small bookstore close to where Michael works, gives him as a present a very special book. Only later and in the open sea will Michael and Gail discover the gift they have been blessed with. Their fears, their desires, for which probably the reader will relate to and the secret of living your own and unique life are enclosed in Distant Winds, a book with flavour of the sea that invites us to take the risks in our pursuit of true happiness.
