Sin embargo, ambos han vivido a la espera de este momento, pues entre ellos se interpone un secreto de una fuerza singular. Todo converge en un duelo sin armas, aunque tal vez mucho más cruel, cuyo punto en común es el recuerdo imborrable de una mujer.

El contenido de este libro pone de manifiesto por lo que pasan docentes y directivos escolares al ser sometidos a presiones políticas, sindicales y religiosas mediante un lenguaje manipulador por quienes no les interesa el orden, la disciplina y que se cumpla con los criterios de calidad para una verdadera transformación social por medio de la educación en el sistema formal de enseñanza. Es la voz alzada y proclamada para que cese la injerencia de sectores que solo buscan sus propios beneficios, poniendo en juego el desarrollo y crecimiento de una sociedad que todavía cree el en poder que tiene una educación que garantice el buen vivir, apegada a las normas éticos morales, sin importar el credo religioso. Pues, el texto también destaca la discriminación hacia aquellos que profesan credos distintos al catolicismo. Es un homenaje a los valientes educadores que, a pesar de las adversidades, se esfuerzan por marcar la diferencia y educar a las futuras generaciones sin esperar reconocimiento o recompensas.
