Opis

The Story: November 1st, 1984: Ana Maria was just a few hours old when Sister Teresa found her on the convent doorstep. Minutes later, as Sister held the newborn, a powerful sensation swept over her that caused her to reach out to a table for support. Thereafter, Ana Maria and Sister Teresa were linked in a mystical bond that made Ana Maria's life substantively different from that of other orphans. She endured, with unlikely poise and self-possession, the loneliness, uncertainty, and even cruelty of an orphan in the foster care system. Indeed, she grew into a woman of radiant inner beauty, strength, and compelling presence. Only years later did she learn of her powerful bond with Sister Teresa. October, 2012: It was a cold wet night in downtown Grand Rapids. Ana Maria and one year old Terry were homeless. A car made a sudden U-turn in front of Paul's Buick; its headlights illuminated a figure huddled high up in an enclosed stairwell. At once, Paul pulled over to the curb. Ana Maria watched warily as Paul climbed the stairs toward her. In answer to Paul's offer of shelter, Ana Maria asked, "If Terry and I go with you do you expect me to sleep with you tonight?" Paul's mouth fell open; no words came out.
