Maria grew up confused, used, abused, and looking for love in all the wrong places. God led her through many scenarios in her life that would end up leading to some of the most joyous times in her life. It would seem in the beginning of Maria's life that she was not going to make it. He young adulthood would prove this even more. However, she clung to faith, that she didn't even really know that she had and she got through to what she needed, what she wanted. She learned that she is a survivor and she wants to share with others that they can be survivors too. Review from Authorsden: I have done prison ministry for years. This story sounds like what many prisoners experience in real life. Nice work! - Domino, Michael
