Can You Be Happy in Venezuela?

Faith, Hope and Joy from a Mother Who Chose to Stay


Many people say that it is impossible to be happy in Venezuela, given the hundreds of problems its people face every day. And yet millions of Venezuelans have shown remarkable patience, strength, creativity, hard work and joy.

This book answers the question with a clear «yes», backed by real stories. It gathers the weekly columns that journalist María Denisse Fanianos de Capriles wrote for the Venezuelan newspaper El Universal between 2011 and 2015: hard moments that many families faced with faith, hope and a positive outlook.

A book about joy, solidarity, service and hope, written by a mother of six who decided to stay in her country.
