Elena - Paperback

by Bill VanPatten (Author)

"Escribo desde la cl nica. El psic logo dice que escribir es buena terapia. No estoy segura. Adem s, no necesito terapia. No estoy loca. No estoy enferma. De todos modos, hago lo que el psic logo dice."So begins "Elena," written by award-winning teacher and scholar Bill VanPatten. Elena is a seventeen-year-old girl who claims to hear the Virgin's voice. Concerned, her parents and priest think it's wise to put her under psychiatric care. But does Elena really belong in a clinic? Defying stereotypes and taking us into the mind of an intelligent teenager, "Elena" is a story that hits all the right notes for students of Spanish. "Elena," consisting of nine segments plus a prologue and an epilogue, is just the right length for students of intermediate and advanced Spanish.
