by Grace Banta (Author)
Graciela, No One's Child is a candid, powerful and evocative account of the author's life beginning in Brooklyn, New York and her abduction to Mexico as an infant. Grace vividly describes the extremes she experienced from time spent with Nobel Prize laureate, Gabriela Mistral, to years of slavery in the Mexican hill country of Jalapa. She brings to life harrowing, narrow escapes as she constantly pursues her quest to find her family and to return to the country of her birth. The reader will be richly rewarded by the inspiration found in Grace's numerous examples of strong faith, hope, courage, and determination as she repeatedly encounters seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
