About this audiobook
PEREGRINA is a sweeping historical romance inspired by the true love story of Alma Reed, an American journalist, and Felipe Carrillo Puerto, the Governor of Yucatán.
Set against the breathtaking landscapes of early twentieth-century Mexico, this cinematic novel follows two souls whose love defied politics, distance, and fate. From the white streets of Mérida and the harbor of Progreso to the elegance of San Francisco, their journey unfolds through unforgettable moments of passion, hope, sacrifice, and loss.
Blending meticulous historical research with immersive storytelling, PEREGRINA transforms one of Yucatán’s most enduring legends into an emotionally powerful novel where every chapter reads like a scene from a film.
More than a historical novel, PEREGRINA is a timeless story about love, memory, and the enduring power of the human heart.
Some stories end. Others become legends.

1PROLOGUE
138PEREGRINA
2There are stories that are born to be told.
139CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
3And there are others…
140LUIS ROSADO VEGA Part 1
4That seem to choose, for themselves, the person destined to give them a voice once again.
141LUIS ROSADO VEGA Part 2
5Since childhood, I have known the name Peregrina.
142PEREGRINA

6Like generations of people from Yucatán, I grew up listening to that melody during serenades, family gatherings, and warm evenings when music seemed capable of stopping time itself. For many years, I believed it was simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
143CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO
7Until I discovered that behind every verse lived two real people.
144RICARDO PALMERÍN Part 1
8A man.
145RICARDO PALMERÍN Part 2
9A woman.
146PEREGRINA
10A love.
147CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
11And a story that time could never erase.
148CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
12As a writer of historical fiction, I understood from the very beginning that my responsibility was never to rewrite history.
149AFTER THE RAIN Part 1
13It was to respect it.
150AFTER THE RAIN Part 2
14For that reason, this novel was born only after an extensive journey of research. Books, historical records, newspapers from the period, photographs, and the remarkable work of historians became the foundation upon which this story was built, allowing me to recreate, with the greatest respect possible, the world that surrounded Felipe Carrillo Puerto and Alma Reed.
151PEREGRINA
15Yet…
152PEREGRINA Part 1
16PEREGRINA is not a biography.
153PEREGRINA Part 2
17Nor is it a history book.
154PEREGRINA
18It is a novel.
155CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
19A story where documented events provide the backbone, while imagination gently fills the silences that no archive could ever preserve.
156PIXÁN Part 1
20The conversations.
157PIXÁN Part 2
21The emotions.
158PEREGRINA
22The glances.
159CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
23The fears.
160FELIPE’S EYES Part 1
24The hopes.
161CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
25Those fragile moments that official history rarely records.
162FELIPE’S EYES Part 2
26My intention has never been to tell readers what they should think about the people within these pages.
163PEREGRINA
27My wish has been far simpler.
164THE SONG IS PLAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME Part 1
28To invite you to walk through the streets of Mérida.
165THE SONG IS PLAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME Part 2
29To hear the quiet rhythm of the harbor in Progreso.
166PEREGRINA
30To breathe the fragrance of bougainvillea after the rain.
167CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
31To travel the white roads of Yucatán.
168THE KISS MÉRIDA DID NOT SEE Part 1
32And above all…
169THE KISS MÉRIDA DID NOT SEE Part 2
33To remember that before becoming historical figures, Felipe and Alma were simply two human beings who fell in love.
170PEREGRINA
34More than a century has passed since then.
171CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
35Governments have changed.
172LOVE IN A LOW VOICE Part 1
36Cities have grown.
173LOVE IN A LOW VOICE Part 2
37Generations have come and gone.
174PEREGRINA
38Yet the song continues to be sung.
175CAPÍTULO TREINTA
39And perhaps that is the true miracle of this story.
176LA CANCIÓN YA TIENE ENEMIGOS Part 1
40Because as long as someone is willing to listen to Peregrina…
177LA CANCIÓN YA TIENE ENEMIGOS Part 2
41Their love will always find its way home.
178LA CANCIÓN YA TIENE ENEMIGOS Part 3
42This novel is my humble tribute to that memory.
179PEREGRINA
43With respect.
180CHAPTER THIRTY
44With admiration.
181THE SONG ALREADY HAS ENEMIES Part 1
45And with the sincere hope that, when you close this book, the next time you hear that beautiful melody…
182THE SONG ALREADY HAS ENEMIES Part 2
46You will no longer hear only a song.
183THE SONG ALREADY HAS ENEMIES Part 3
47You will hear the story of two souls who proved that time may take many things away…
184ACT IV
48But it can never take away a love that chose to become a legend.
