ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
To all those who hide their pain behind a smile, may this story help you defeat your demons. A sunny day, a smile full of joy, a melody made of the chirping of birds and the rustling of a river bed. A moonless night, a bed of pain, a dark and silent room that, every night, becomes a deafening melody, a composition of screams, nightmares and demons that tears the soul apart. Three characters so different, but so similar: Cameron, sad eyes and breathtaking smiles, a homosexual boy not at peace with his sexuality because of the ignorance of his family and society; Jocelyn, eyes full of joy and smiles full of pain, an obese girl derided by her peers; finally, Trevis, cold heart and warm eyes, free to be what he wants to be. But do people without fears exist? People without pain in their smiles? The stories of these three characters intersect profoundly until each becomes the salvation of the other. Friendship and love merge so deeply that you can no longer tell the difference. Giuseppe De Martino was born in Naples on 9 July, 1996. He soon discovered a strong passion for acting, writing and singing, quickly becoming a professional in the world of entertainment. After graduating from drama school, he won the 20th edition of the Emily Dickinson International Literary Prize. He has collaborated on various theatre and television projects, and, at the age of 21, he published his debut novel, The Pain in a Smile. After critical acclaim for the social issues discussed in the book, he decided to translate the novel into English. He now lives in the UK, and he always tries, with his pen and his art, to create a better world.

After surviving both physical and sexual abuse in my past from a family member. Having to live with the turmoil of placing my children in the care of other families.My worst nightmare of which I had to come to terms with, was when my son Daniel was killed in a road traffic accident in 2001.

As each day passes by, I know that with my partner who is so understanding, that I can overcome anything that life chooses to throw at me. Although, I do not allow my emotions to be seen, as each day the first thing I do is put my make up on, which is what I would call my "mask".This to me makes life so much easier as nobody has any idea of what I am thinking or feeling. Each day I write on a calender the events of my daily routine.That is how it became to be written in diary form,and then even I could see the progress I had made in my life.Should I ever be concerned about something, or not be too certain of anything, I think of what my late son Daniel would have told me.He would of said "go for it mum".
