Ecuador based author Cesar L. Baquerizo, who is a proud Latino gay and deaf has announced the release of his debut book ‘A safe place with you’ on Amazon. The book is a fictional novel but inspired by true events and set in the backdrop of the beautiful country Ecuador. The story revolves around a young man named Tomas Diaz and his group of new friends that are caught up in an era of heightened ignorance and hatred. This group of people is admitted in a clinic, named “Grow and Live Normally” that was opened with an aim to treat general addictions but later on became a religious fanatic place to treat ‘homosexuality’.
The orthodox families viewed this clinic as the ultimate cure for homosexuality where they can send their children or other family members to get treated. Some of the unfortunate youth suffer the consequences of being in an era and a place where homosexuality is frowned upon, is illegal and in fact, seen as a sin. The so-called ‘patients’ are seen by their families against their will in the ‘sexual reorientation’ wing where they are subjected to physical and emotional trauma. They struggle to survive and to gather the courage to fight for their identities.
