Author Description

The Maid By: Robert Lewis Barros, M.D. The Del Ray Family of Spain are wealthy, royal, and relish in their exquisite home, fancy cars, and lavish lifestyle. However, their life of privilege comes at a cost. Son Antonio falls in love with the beautiful Margarita, a servant living on his family’s vast estate. Their relationship blossoms from a childhood friendship to star-crossed lovers as they become older, and life becomes more complicated. Antonio, forced to marry his cousin to maintain the family bloodline, slowly gravitates away from Margarita, breaking her heart in two. Filled with insight into Spanish culture, from birth to death, dueling and marriage, The Maid is a heartbreaking, emotional tale with a powerful lesson: anyone can rise up from the bottom, and those at the top can come crumbling down.
