"WHEN THE BELL RINGS" is the continuation of the story of Mateo Aragon from "THE BROKEN." In this second book, as he decided to enter the diocesan seminary, Mateo recounts how the seminary bell runs his life as a young seminarian wanting to study to become a Catholic priest.

As Mateo describes it in the first chapter..."The bell's chime was slow and deliberate, cutting through the early morning hush like a pebble tossed into still waters. Mateo felt it resonate within him, a sound that seemed to connect heaven and earth. He sat up quickly, the sound vibrating in his chest as he pulled on his simple black robe and joined the line of sleepy seminarians heading for morning prayers. No words were exchanged, only the quiet shuffle of feet on cold stone floors."
