Excerpt
It was a cool morning in Lima, Peru. The year was 1985. The warm sun brought life to the horizon, and the songs of all the birds was refreshing to all who heard, and gave a new hope for a better day. Sabrina heard the songs of nature, and felt a new strength come into her bones. A new smile was put on her face. She delighted in the simplicity of her joy. But it was only temporary. As she began to think about what awaited her in the day, she felt apprehension. Uncertainty began to replace her sense of security. Her father was preparing for another difficult day of work. Today was going to be the fifth consecutive day she would go look for her own work, with no guarantee of success. In the year 1985, the Peruvian economy was encountering some trouble. Sabrina thrust herself out of her bed, got in the shower, and got herself dressed. “Maybe God will have something special waiting for me today,” she thought. She was not aware of where her journey would take her.
