Dalia: Lost Youth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781682359105)

The intense novel Dalia: Lost Youth follows a young girl's difficult journey through her childhood in Mexico. Hers is a story filled with pain and heartache. Before Dalia was five years old, she had the responsibility of helping her mother serve her abusive father and three older brothers, and look after her two younger siblings. When she was 12, a stranger kidnapped her and forced her to live with him and his family. Even though her real father is a cruel man, she misses him and her own family. But Dalia's father betrays her and trades her for a tract of land. Says the author, "I wanted to share Dalia's story, for those children who had ever been abused to let them know that they can survive, and never allow anyone to still their dreams and glory. They are not alone."
(About the Author)
Rosa Flores found it emotionally hard to write Dalia's story and feel what she went through. The author grew up in Mexico and now lives in Dawsonville, Georgia. In her early teens, she was blessed to immigrate to United States and became a citizen. She continued her formal education in California, became proficient in the English language, and has held executive positions in several U.S. companies. Now retired, she enjoys nature and hiking, especially walking the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail in Spain. This is her first book, and a sequel is in the works.
