About this audiobook

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.

1PROLOGUE
2There are stories that are born to be told.
3And there are others…
4That seem to choose, for themselves, the person destined to give them a voice once again.
5Since childhood, I have known the name Peregrina.

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.
7Until I discovered that behind every verse lived two real people.
8A man.
9A woman.
10A love.
11And a story that time could never erase.
12As a writer of historical fiction, I understood from the very beginning that my responsibility was never to rewrite history.
13It was to respect it.
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.
15Yet…
16PEREGRINA is not a biography.
17Nor is it a history book.
18It is a novel.
19A story where documented events provide the backbone, while imagination gently fills the silences that no archive could ever preserve.
20The conversations.
21The emotions.
22The glances.
23The fears.
24The hopes.
25Those fragile moments that official history rarely records.
26My intention has never been to tell readers what they should think about the people within these pages.
27My wish has been far simpler.
28To invite you to walk through the streets of Mérida.
29To hear the quiet rhythm of the harbor in Progreso.
30To breathe the fragrance of bougainvillea after the rain.
31To travel the white roads of Yucatán.
32And above all…
33To remember that before becoming historical figures, Felipe and Alma were simply two human beings who fell in love.
34More than a century has passed since then.
35Governments have changed.
36Cities have grown.
37Generations have come and gone.
38Yet the song continues to be sung.
39And perhaps that is the true miracle of this story.
40Because as long as someone is willing to listen to Peregrina…
41Their love will always find its way home.
42This novel is my humble tribute to that memory.
43With respect.
44With admiration.
45And with the sincere hope that, when you close this book, the next time you hear that beautiful melody…
46You will no longer hear only a song.
47You will hear the story of two souls who proved that time may take many things away…
48But it can never take away a love that chose to become a legend.
