Life as an Orphan (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781498416467)

Life as an Orphan takes you on the life-altering journey of a young woman whose trials and tribulations have led her to forming an intimate relationship with God. Her path begins in Haiti after being abandoned by her father at an orphanage: little did she know that the events which transpired next would take her on the experience of a lifetime. While discovering who she is as a woman in a world full of chaos and destruction, she finds grace with several families along the way who have shown her love. As the world seems to be turning in her favor, sudden disaster strikes Haiti: the country has never been the same. A catastrophic magnitude 7.0 earthquake ravishes the country, killing hundreds of thousands, leaving behind a trail of misery. Amidst her walk to finding her destiny, she must battle her way through the pitfalls of the sudden social downturn of her home country. Forced to abandon her culture, Lina embarks on a tour throughout the Dominican Republic and United States, being led by life's circumstances, which later prove to have a greater purpose. Exploring the United States teaches her a few lessons about life, people, and most importantly, drew her closer to God. As she settles in America, she soon finds out that things are not always as they appear. Intrigued by the mystery surrounding the encounter with her soon to be husband, Lina invites him into her life and lets fate shape the course of their future. Their marriage is anything but easy; together they stand against the forces that try to tear them apart, as God uses their union as a way to unravel his calling on their lives. Lina shows men and women everywhere that through faith in God all obstacles can be overcome.
