Ana's Journey: A Brazilian Mother's Story of Kidnap, Forced Marriage and Her Botched Abortion
Within the tangled vines of the Amazon rainforest, a man stood poised to prey on an innocent girl. Within minutes, one teen girl's life was forever changed by a kidnapping. Forced to marry and bear her abductor's children, this courageous young woman survived her torment to escape her emotional prison. In the process, she freed her children so they could embrace a life of options that she lost out on.
From the matriarchal trunk of this Brazilian family tree, read how this victimized female, Apolinaria, made, in time, a far greater impact than she would ever have thought possible. Her efforts cultivated a spiritual yield that reached well beyond the trees and rivers of her youth to the city of Sao Paulo (Brazil) and via her offspring, Chicago, where a long-buried tale of regret was dug up and laid bare. If you have ever known sorrow, regret and longed for loving forgiveness, this story will touch your heart like no other.
