Amalia - Paperback

by Nena Jones (Author)

The choices we have aren't always good, but choices have to be made. That's when we pray to our good Lord that our choice will turn out well. He gave us the gift of choice. -Juana Lopez Based on a True Story After an unjust expulsion from her family, an event that irrevocably changes the course of her life, Amalia struggles to find her place. She experiences trials as she becomes a young woman: fear among strangers, despair, and an abrupt end to love. She flees in search of a home and questions her capacity to love. Through encounters with various people--some kindhearted and others menacing--she learns life's lessons of forgiveness, sacrifice, and the importance of trust and human connection. Her journey is fraught with significant trials that shape her character as she ventures into the world alone. Her ability to adapt and remain strong is tested. Amalia's story is one of resilience, survival, second chances, and sacrifice. It is a profound exploration of identity in the face of adversity as she learns the complexity of growing up without her family's support.
